In this interactive workshop, participants can expect to learn about the Nooksack Salmon Enhancement Association (NSEA), and how they partner with the local Tribes, other non-profit community-based organizations, and their Educational Service District to facilitate professional development opportunities for K-12 teachers. This workshop will showcase hands-on examples of outdoor STEM activities that focus on sustainable fishing of salmon in the marine environment while also incorporating Tribal fisheries, climate science, and human action. In this workshop, participants can expect to learn how partners have implemented a unique and progressive statewide climate initiative to provide culturally appropriate climate education and resources for K-12 educators. Additionally, participants will learn how collaborative models for professional development can lead to successful funding proposals, increased outreach, and more broadly reaching teachers and their students.
