Teacher Training Institute
December 8, 2008 > 8:30 am-4:30 pm
At the Green California Schools Summit
Creating a green school involves more than
buildings. Green schools can offer students a living laboratory
for learning about the environment.
Green building, renewable energy, water conservation, healthy
design and other green concepts are becoming central to our
culture - and to the economy.
To the extent that teachers are able to perceive and take
advantage of green learning opportunities, their students will
be better prepared for the world that is waiting for them after
graduation.
If you want to be part of this evolution, you
need to attend the Teacher Training Institute!
