Teachers invited to five-day environmental education summit July 22-26
The Tulare County Office of Education, the Sequoia Riverlands Trust, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have partnered to create a Summer Institute for Educators July 22-26. Attendees will work together to construct a K-12
climate-literacy framework and develop age-appropriate lessons for campus and field-based learning experiences. K-12 teachers who contribute their lesson plan(s) to California Educators Together may earn a $1,000 stipend.
Teachers are encouraged to register by June 30 for the five-day training at: https://forms.gle/SbWjYKE682SUQ3jL9.

The Summer Institute for Educators is a project of the Sequoia Environmental Education Directive (SEED), a coalition of environmental education organizations established in 2014.

Throughout the summer, TCOE’s New Teacher & Leadership Development (NTLD) will hold multiple virtual information meetings for the IMPACT Intern Program.
NTLD’s IMPACT Intern Program partners with local school districts to recruit and train teacher candidates. Districts employ interns as teachers-of-record while IMPACT delivers the teacher preparation coursework. Throughout the two-year program, interns are supported by program-assigned, practicum supervisors and district-assigned, on-site mentors.
Free virtual information meetings about the IMPACT Intern Program will be held on July 9, August 21, and in the fall on September 23. The meetings are from 4:30 p.m. until 5:30 p.m. To register, and for more information about IMPACT, visit tcoe.org/NTLD/IMPACT or contact Gabbi Barnes at gabbi.barnes@tcoe.org.
NTLD is approved and accredited by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing and offers a range of programs which provide credential pathways for aspiring teachers and administrators. For more information about NTLD, visit tcoe.org/NTLD.
