We believe that giving teachers the confidence to engage their students in crit ical thinking through STEM is the key to creat ing future leaders.

Why support a teacher?Most are familiar with Keystone Science School's Camp,

Community, and School programs. What you might not know is that Keystone Science School has a nat ionally and internat ionally renowned professional development program for teachers.

It goes without saying that parents want the best teachers possible for their children. Research confirms that the most important factor contribut ing to a student 's success in school is the quality of teaching. Professional development for teachers is the most effect ive tool to contribute to student, teacher, and classroom success.

This experience gave me the ability to teach climate science in a non-biased manner. The labs and act ivit ies that

we performed were well developed and writ ten to make students think outside the box to reach their conclusions. I learned a lot about climate change and how to address the

issue with students. This workshop was worthwhile because it helped me grow as a teacher and taught me how to teach

students from different perspect ives.-Marisa Rosemellia, 2016 CSI part icipant

$600 = 1 teacher fully sponsored to attend a 2-day professional development workshop. Includes

transportat ion, lodging, meals, 30+ lesson plans, workshop materials and supplies, and a once-in-a-lifet ime experience.

PROGRAM OVERVIEWBy teaching educators strategies to ident ify and remove their own bias, CSI provides teachers with the confidence to lead students through an explorat ion of factors contribut ing to greenhouse gas levels and result ing economic and social impacts associated with sustainability and climate change.

- Teachers increased student learning in science, math, decision-making, teamwork and crit ical thinking.

- Teachers connect with other teachers from around the U.S.

- Teachers meet local experts in the field of climate change and environmental engineering .
