C.E.I.T.

Coastal Environment Institute for Teachers

Thirteen area middle and high school science teachers participated in the first session of the Coastal Environment Institute for Teachers (C.E.I.T), a pilot program sponsored by Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve and Collier County Public Schools. This intensive, 5-day watershed workshop brought teachers into the field and lab where they explored the flora, fauna, processes and issues that make environmental education in Collier County so interesting and important. Instruction was provided by environmental educators from Rookery Bay Reserve, Sea Grant Extension and Edison College.
