About Annis Water Resources Institute at GVSU: AWRI in Muskegon offers local educator training, field-experiences on Lake Michigan for pK-12 and adult learners, and other immersive offerings throughout the calendar year. AWRI is a longtime partner of Groundswell and actively incorporates place-based education in their research and events. Please visit the AWRI website to learn more.

Join AWRI for an evening of learning about the latest Michigan Environmental Education Curriculum Support (MEECS) unit, Ecosystems and Biodiversity, through hands-on lessons and exploration.

About MEECS: MEECS (Michigan Environmental Education Curriculum Support) is a state-specific environmental education curriculum funded and managed by EGLE to help students learn through inquiry-oriented, data-based science and social studies lessons. MEECS units apply to grades 3-12 and can be used individually, adopted into a school’s multi-year science curricula, or combined to form the basis for an integrated science course. The grade-band focus of the Ecosystem and Biodiversity workshop is middle school, but curriculum adaptations will be discussed to support additional grade levels.
This MEECS Ecosystem and Biodiversity unit update is supported by funding from the Environmental Protection Agency and the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. This workshop is open to all, including, but not limited to, formal, informal, pre-service, and homeschool educators.

Cost: FREE, includes dinner, MEECS Ecosystems and Biodiversity curriculum, curriculum materials kit, and SCECHs

Note: Thanks to support from EGLE, there is no cost to participate; however, space is limited, so please sign up early. If your plans change, let us know so we can offer another person the slot. Event registration closes October 25. We look forward to learning and sharing with you!
