Beaver Island Institute

Through a unique, one-week field experience at CMU’s Beaver Island Biological Station, teachers participants will discover strategies for implementing the Next Generation Science Standards and Common Core Literacy Standards through place-based learning.

Designed for pairs of educators based in the same school or district, this workshop will immerse science and literacy teachers in a number of inquiry-based experiences related to the study of ecosystems on the island as well as strategies for integrating reading, writing, and critical thinking into the science and English Language Arts curriculum.
