Teacher in the Workplace

Spring Greening Teacher Conference

The greatest impact of this program will result from the multiplier effect created by "training the trainers", preparing them to deliver curriculum on environmental issues that meet the specific needs of their classrooms and school communities. This was accomplished by providing teachers with the knowledge, community connections, and materials necessary to establish long-term, hands-on projects that both directly reduce waste and pollution and foster lifelong environmental stewardship habits in students, such as knowing how and what to recycle, conserving water and energy by forming new habits, and composting at school and at home. Spring Greening mainly focused on pollution prevention and environmental conservation through sustainable materials management and green infrastructure; however, many additional sustainability topics were be addressed through various sessions, exhibits, and site tours, such as green building, climate change, energy conservation, and renewable energy. Additionally, as a direct result of workshops provided during this training, CSCS was able to assist teachers in establishing up to 42 rain barrel and  compost tumbler demonstration projects at their school.
