An extremely popular course for those who want an introduction to the flora and fauna of Michigan. Nationwide studies and surveys reveal that educators feel threatened about taking students outside due to their own lack of knowledge about our natural world. Here is the educator's opportunity to go back to college for Michigan natural history101.
Learn the basic ecology, habits and field identification techniques of Michigan birds, mammals, insects, amphibians, reptiles, trees, plants and even rocks. Each day brings a new focus and excellent interpretive naturalists to the classroom and/or field where the learning begins.
Use of activities, field exploration, live specimen identification, tracking and other instruction techniques will ensure an educational and entertaining course. With the newfound knowledge and techniques learned in this class, teachers will feel much more confident taking their students to explore nature whether it be the school yard, local park or wilderness adventure.
This course has a limited enrollment of 20 and is recommended for all age level educators.
