The Metropolitan Monarch Alliance Teacher Professional Development and Community Workshop provides participants with the training and the tools to raise monarch butterflies in the classroom, to adapt a versatile interdisciplinary suite of inquiry-based learning activities aligned with the NYS Common Core (grades 1-6), and to supervise grade-appropriate research projects with monarch butterflies in the classroom or school garden.\u00a0Teachers will also be introduced to measures that they and their classes can take to help monarch populations.\u00a0All the participants will receive story books and curriculum guides to help integrate activities into their regular curriculum. Everyone will go home with a half dozen native milkweed plants,\u00a0a small rearing enclosure (cage), and a voucher for live Monarch caterpillars that will allow them to raise some Monarch Butterflies\u00a0with their students.<\/p>\n
In addition to the activities listed above,\u00a0participants will be introduced to the typical habitats, plants, and wildlife associated with monarch butterflies\u00a0in NYC and to the\u00a0ongoing environmental harms and risks that endanger the species including\u00a0climate change, habitat loss, and invasive species. Teachers will also be introduced to measures that they and their classes can take to help monarch populations.\u00a0Participants will learn how to use the Journey North citizen science program to track Monarch Butterfly migration from Mexico to New\u00a0York City and back each year and to coordinate the release of their class’s Monarch Butterflies with the passing migration. \u200bInterested teachers will receive support to establish butterfly and pollinator gardens on their school grounds.<\/p>\n
In addition, participants will become part of ºì¶¹ÊÓƵ GLOBE NY Metro network and will receive ongoing support for their activities involving Monarch butterflies.\u00a0\u200b<\/p>\n
