“I liked having a choice to be able to help and not being told how, but finding out for myself.”

Urban Stewards Teacher Resource CD
Teacher Resources
The SPES-designed Urban Stewards teacher resource contains:
- Grade-specific, cross-curricular IRP connections for each activity
- Detailed hands-on lessons with time and material requirements
- Comprehensive background information for each lesson theme
- Glossary of terms for each lesson
- Ready to use worksheets
- Easy to implement action projects
- Teacher tips
- Extension ideas for each lesson
- Useful Web sites and resource lists
To supplement the Urban Stewards resource, we offer teacher-training workshops. The workshop gives teachers ideas to assist with the program's implementation and will give teachers an opportunity to practice specific activities, action projects, outdoor identification skills, and discuss strategies for using the manual in their classrooms.
As a participating teacher from 2001 said,
“This is an outstanding program. It is well laid out, thoughtful, and fun. It links well to my grade seven ecology unit.”
J. Huttunen
