Are you a teacher or administrator at an Indigenous school in Alberta?
Looking for ways to support environmental and natural resource education in your classes?
The Education Tool Kits program engages K-9 students directly through hands-on, in-person activities and provides your school with physical tool kits to keep for future exploration of environmental and natural resource topics!
Inside Education staff will visit your school to deliver the Classroom Education Tool Kits Program.
The program includes:
- 4 education tool kits for your school to keep.
- Curriculum-linked classroom programs using the kits delivered by our educators. Our educators will work with you to build a schedule that best fits your school’s needs, whether we stay for a half- or full-day of programming.
