PROGRAM
Schedules for the Texarkana, Costa Rica, Woonsocket, Dayton, Edwardsville and Des Plaines, workshops are now available. You will receive training in the interdisciplinary Rivers Project curriculum. The summer training allows you to be crossed trained in all six areas. Fieldwork will be an important portion of the activities. Experience tells us that river study works better if two teachers from different disciplines at the same school are trained. It is more fun working with others, so bring someone else. Funding by NSF has allowed the Rivers Project to create a Rivers Curriculum in six areas--chemistry, biology, earth science, geography, mathematics, and language arts. These six units have been written and field-tested by their developers and other teachers. Pearson Education publishes the units that can be purchased from the Rivers Project
