Reviews from past participants:
"The course was profoundly important to me. I was already committed to teaching kids about the environment, but this course drove my commitment up several notches. As a result of what I learned, I plan to change the focus of my enrichment class. Formerly, it was mainly about the garbage problem and decomposition, and our wasting of water and paper. This course helped me to refocus on systems thinking, and imbuing the kids with an understanding of the ecosystem, and how various human activities affect it."
"The CELF Summer Institute was an intense week for me. Thank you so much for that week."
"I enjoyed the institute very much for the following reasons: the enthusiasm of everyone in the room; the varied backgrounds and experiences of presenters and instructors; the format of giving information as a learner before being asked to reflect as a teacher of others; the significant time to develop a plan with immediate feedback from others with varied perspectives; and the rich wealth of resources. Thank you!"
"OUTSTANDING presenters. First class professional development workshop with so many great resources!"
"CELF's presentation made me ask myself: "Why WOULDN'T we want to refer to issues of sustainability in our instruction?" ... SE is SO possible to integrate into existing curricula and other efforts. I'm convinced - and on my end, I'll be working with colleagues to explore how to bring life to SE in our district."
"The CELF program exceeded my highest expectations. You have inspired, challenged and equipped us for a tremendous school year filled with sustainability education programs for our students. Your knowledge, energy, commitment and teaching skill are unbelievable (and unparalleled). You have certainly helped our teachers develop curriculum and lessons appropriate for their programs and given them the knowledge and tools they need to be successful."
"CELF's approach to education will make our children think ... about our earth and the way that we are all interrelated and dependent upon one another."
