The Center for Environmental Studies has ongoing Teacher Training Workshops at various locations in central and southern Florida. We have worked in partnership with the US EPA, the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) and the US Geological Survey and other local sponsors since 1997.

The environmental education workshops investigate the Kissimmee River and greater Everglades restoration projects. The workshops give teachers classroom lessons and educational resources including vocabulary, concepts and processes for their students. These hands-on learning activities and field explorations allow students to apply the concepts that they are learning to real world scenarios. The interdisciplinary workshops are correlated to the Florida’s Sunshine State Standards in science, math, reading and language arts. The workshops are designed to help teachers prepare their students for the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Tests (FCAT).
