Time to get ready for the Oklahoma Green Schools Program.
We will offer three summer training opportunities showcasing new and improved sessions for anyone interested in learning more about the this program! You are welcome to register for one (or more) of our free Oklahoma Green Schools Training sessions. http://www.okgreenschools.org/okgs-training/
- July 9, 2013: Tulsa at the Wilson Teacher Learning Center
- July 31, 2013: Oklahoma City at the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality
- August 8, 2013: Broken Arrow at the Northeastern State University Campus
Even if you have participated in the program, you will benefit from attending one of these free events. We have come a long way, and will have a lot of experts on hand to help you with new ideas for implementing the Oklahoma Green Schools Program. You will also find out how the OK Green Schools program can help you meet STEM requirements, review the Project Learning Tree (PLT) Investigations in the five topics: ENERGY, WATER, WASTE & RECYCLING, ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY, and SCHOOL SITE (includes STEM-related activities and Service Learning components) and peruse the toolkit.
