ABOUT THE INSTITUTE
The County Science Initiative’s Relevant Environmental Action & Learning (REAL) Science Institute provides professional learning and support for collaboration among teachers and environmental education partners focused on equitable, standards-aligned science and environmental literacy programs. Participating environmental education partners and teacher leaders from across the county collaborated on the development of a set of K-12 Lesson Sequences available on the Teacher Leadership Institute (TLI) website along with resources from all Institute learning sessions. In addition to supporting Next Generation Science Standards, the lesson sequences emphasize connecting students nature, social emotional learning and environmental actions projects.

Our County Science Initiative’s Roots and Shoots are Growing!
During the first week of summer, 57 teachers were back at work participating in our Teacher Leadership Institute for Science and Environmental Literacy.
