Rivers Institutes for Teachers

Rivers and WaterWorks Institutes for Teachers

The Center for Global Environmental Education offers FREE professional development Rivers Institutes which are based on a philosophy of inquiry and field-based learning. We focus on science education through intense, real-life experiences. We celebrate education and help teachers in the classrooms feel engaged in the their environment.
