The Glaxo Wellcome Foundation has generously awarded the Watson School of Education and the Science and Math Education Center a three-year grant to develop innovative educational programs to enhance awareness and proactive understanding of critical water pollution problems affecting North Carolinas rivers, estuaries and coastal shorelines. Join scientists, environmental policy experts and environmental education curriculum specialists who will present the latest information on the status of water resources, involve participants in problem and solution analysis and provide ideas on how to integrate this subject matter into K-12 classroom curriculum. Participants will take an active role in this conference, so be prepared to discuss opinions with Dan Besse, a leading N.C. environmental policy expert, to visit at risk areas along the Cape Fear River with Michael Mallin and Wrightsville Beach with coastal geologists, to get hands-on with Lundie Spence, curriculum specialist at Sea Grant and to enjoy good food at a teaching excellence awards luncheon.
