Conference Gathers Environmental Educators from Across Berkshire County

- November 27, 2007

On Thursday November 29th, the fourth annual Berkshire Environmental Educators Network will gather two dozen representatives from Schools, Museums, and nonprofits from across Berkshire County to share expertise, planning and resources.

The conference hosted this year at the Hancock Shaker Village will be held from 8:45 am- 2:30pm and will serve as an opportunity for a diverse group of educators to demonstrate how the Massachusetts learning standards in Math, Science and Technology can be taught through hands-on environmental projects.

Initiated by Flying Cloud Institute in 2005, The Berkshire Environmental Educators Network (BEEN) was established as a means to connect area nonprofits and public school educators who are devoted in engaging students in meaningful investigations of the local environment. Throughout the year, environmental consultants also serve as liaisons between nonprofits and schools helping to bring new participants into the program. Members are also able to share best practices and set up collaborations that promote high quality environmental education.

The main activities of BEEN are - the Berkshire Environmental Educators Conference and the Youth Environmental Summit (YES) where students gather to present their findings to peers and offer workshops that teach other students the techniques they have learned.
