6\/17\/16<\/em><\/p>\n \u200bAs we enter this last year of Into the Woods, there are many ways that you can stay involved and we would like to encourage you to take a leadership position in the program. It is time to share what you have learned and experienced with your cohort and with other teachers that can benefit from your expertise. There are several ways in which you can contribute as a leader: sharing a lesson seed, presenting at the Summer Institute (described below) or becoming an ITW Teacher Mentor. You can be an ITW Teacher Leader by selecting another teacher from your school to work with and mentor him or her in one or more of the environmental literacy areas you have explored by being a part of ITW. The project that you and your partner teacher work on will be featured in the 2017 ITW Symposium at ºì¶¹ÊÓƵ. Note that all Teacher Leaders will receive a stipend.<\/p>\n If you would like to be a Teacher Leader, please fill in this Teacher Leader Form (link)<\/a>, and send to Peter Schmidt at peter.schmidt@qc.cuny.edu<\/span> by June 28th, 2016. 6\/17\/16<\/em><\/p>\n Into the Woods is holding a Summer Institute for a third cohort of teachers. The Summer Institute will be on July 5th thru 8th and July 11th, and run from 8:30 to 3:30 with breakfast and lunch provided. Two required one-day follow-up workshops will be held on a weekend day in November and February. A stipend is provided for participation. Please invite your colleagues to participate!

MMA is a collaboration of schools, youth and community groups, public gardens and environmental centers, and international Monarch conservation groups to learn about and to create habitat for Monarch butterflies and other wildlife across NYC. MMA will host workshops for teachers grades 3-6 and separate workshops for communities to establish Monarch habitat; to collect, rear, and release Monarch butterflies in time for their annual migration; and to conduct research and citizen science projects that will inform future conservation efforts. One-day teacher workshops will provide teachers with training and tools to custmozie and create a versatile, interdisciplinary suite of classroom activities that align with the NYS Common Core and to supervise grade-appropriate research projects as students rear and release Monarch butterflies in the class or school garden.
