Pisgah Forest Institute at Brevard College in Brevard, North Carolina
presents: 2008 Distance Learning Workshop for 6-12 Educators. (Both

Pisgah Forest Institute is a non-profit, cooperative, environmental

America Interpretive Association, and Brevard College.
NO COST TO PARTICIPANTS! Includes: On line instruction, resource
notebook, and many classroom takeaways!
This on-line distance learning workshop will run for 8 weeks and is
designed for educators of grades 6-12. The workshop will focus on four
general sections of earth and environmental science curriculum: geology,
ecology, hydrology, and atmospheric conditions. Participants will be
provided with background information, classroom presentations, lessons,
and activities in these areas. This workshop will start with an
orientation at Brevard College with the PFI staff. This course is
geared to participants that are unable to travel to our week-long summer
workshops.
Workshop participants are eligible to receive up to 4 Continuing
Education Unit (CEU) credits based on 40 contact hours, as well as
Criteria III credit in the North Carolina Environmental Educator's
(NCEE) Certification Program. Three semester hours of undergraduate
college credit is available through Brevard College. (This is a great
way for lateral entry teachers to receive science credits!)
