This inspiring and transformational professional development program provides participants with a working knowledge of Heifer’s model and mission, while emphasizing how to teach about sustainable solutions to hunger, poverty, and environmental degradation. The program includes guest speakers who are experts in a variety of areas, experiential learning opportunities in Heifer’s global village, a tour of a working sustainable farm, training on how to teach global issues in the classroom, free classroom resources, and excellent networking opportunities with educators from around the country. Heifer U for Educators is a grant-based program for which participants are selected by application; all expenses, including room and board, are covered by the grant. Accepted participants need only to provide their own transportation to and from Little Rock.
Founded in 1944, Heifer International is a humanitarian assistance organization that works to end world hunger and poverty and protect the earth. Through livestock, training and "passing on the gift," Heifer has helped 9.2 million families in more than 125 countries improve their quality of life and move toward greater self-reliance. Heifer helps build strong communities because each project participant agrees to pass on the gift of animal offspring, training, or skills to another family in need. Because education both at home and abroad is essential to the accomplishment of Heifer’s mission, the organization offers free curriculum materials and professional development for teachers with the goal of inspiring a new generation of global citizens.
This year’s Heifer U for Educators will take place from June 18th-22nd. Applications are due May 8th, so visit [link removed].

In addition to impacting students and teachers, FOREST WATCH has made a number of important scientific findings over the past 20 years. Student data and indices document the following: • White pines respond to summertime (growing season) variations in ozone levels, which vary from year to year. • Needle health (based on chlorophyll content and moisture levels) is inversely correlated with growing season ozone levels: White pine health is good if ozone levels are low during a growing season. White pine health is poor if needles are exposed to high ozone levels during a growing season. • Trees growing at coastal locations exhibit poorer health than trees growing inland. Levels of ground-level ozone are higher along the coast and lower inland. • In the early to mid-1990s (1991-1996), white pine needle health overall was poor, but improved dramatically between 1997 and 1999, corresponding to a significant drop in ozone levels over the same time period (1997-1999); • Since 2000, needle health has been generally very good, a time period in which regional ozone levels have been significantly lower than the time period from 1991-1996.
Teachers and students are eagerly awaiting their newest measurements, as they will try to find an explanation for a curious loss of two-year-old needles early in the 2010 growing season. UNH Extension foresters believe the needle cast was caused by fungi. Here in the Forest Watch laboratory, we suspect a new atmospheric pollutant, peroxylacetyl nitrate (PAN).
Four three-day Forest Watch teacher professional development courses will be offered this summer in New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont. The workshop fee is $600.
July 11, 12 and 13, St. Johnsbury School, St. Johnsbury, VT August 1, 2, and 3, 2012, Morse High School, Bath, Maine August 8, 9, and 10, UNH, Durham, NH August 13, 14, and 15, Keene State University Conference Center, Keene, NH
Significant time during the course will be spent in fieldwork. Topics to be covered will include: Tropospheric ozone and the white pine as an indicator species Climate change and the sugar maple as an indicator species Field protocols for observation and sampling in the forest near school Biometrics of needles and leaves Spectral measures Biochemistry Remote sensing and mapping Data analysis and synthesis Inquiry--structured, guided and open Practicing science and school standards

As summer break comes to an end, I found myself looking for good lesson plans. I have searched free lesson plan sites, however I always felt that they ended up lacking in content and were super hard to search. I stumbled across [link removed]!
