Teaching Science Outdoors-Urban Partnerships - Spartan Public Engagment Map

In 2019 the National Science Foundation awarded a Discovery Research for preK-12 (DRK-12) Grant to further study the Teaching Science Outdoors professional development program with 4th and 5th grade teachers from Lansing and Detroit Public Schools, Belle Isle Conservancy, and Ebersole Environmental Education and Conference Center. During this time period, the team met with teachers and administrators from Detroit and Lansing elementary schools to prepare and recruit teachers for summer professional learning to support teaching science outdoors. Unfortunately, the program was suspended during summer 2020 due to Covid-19. During the fall, the team pivoted and organized professional development for spring and recruited teachers for the program. Gail Richmond from the College of Education is the principal investigator
