ECO-Partners: Education for Conservation and Outdoor Learning (gr.3-9)
ECO-Partners : Education for Conservation and Outdoor Learning is a program designed for teachers and students who are interested in prolonged engagement and environmental stewardship. The program consists of a teacher-training workshop along with three in-class visits and a guided hike in Kananaskis Country or Fish Creek Provincial Park. It is designed to encourage teachers to put an environmental spin on their teaching and foster a sense of global citizenship among students. It is essentially a package of your favourite CPAWS programs, plus a whole lot more! As part of the ECO-Partners program, classes are encouraged to take part of CPAWS’ premier Action Challenge program to take positive action for nature. As with our other environmental programs, the ECO-Partners program is designed to be integrated with your curriculum and will help students understand their role in conserving the natural world. With the ECO-Partners program, teachers will receive a Leap into Action Guide, a teaching kit that includes an illustrated activity guide for their grade level, brochures, and posters to extend the experience in the classroom.
