Key Issues Institute Teacher Applications Due by 3/21/14

The Mojave Environmental Education Consortium (MEEC) is once again accepting applications from teachers of 5th to 8th grade students to attend the summer Key Issues Institute in Colorado in June or July.  Scholarships are being funded for 3 teachers from the Antelope Valley, CA area, and 1 from the San Bernardino/Riverside High Desert areas, provided through the generosity of AVAQMD, Lockheed Martin Palmdale, LA County Sanitation District, and MEEC.

During the week-long training, selected High Desert teachers will gain the skills and confidence to explore local and global environmental issues with their students using a non-biased, standards-based framework. Scholarship covers full cost of instruction, curriculum, airfare, lodging and meals. Awardees may select to attend one of three sessions held between June 24 and July 15, 2014.

DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING APPLICATION PACKAGES IS MARCH 21, 2014.

For more information about this program, visit Key Issues Scholarships or contact Violette Roberts, MEEC Executive Chair at 760.245.1661 ext. 6104.
