How Can Community Partners Get Involved?
Potential community partners---government agencies, non-profits, units of
local governments---can read about the goals
and strategies of the Great Lakes
Stewardship Initiative (GLSI) at:
http://www.glstewardship.org/. The GLSI
has established more than eight Great Lakes
Education Hubs
throughout Michigan since 2008, of which
the Lake Superior Stewardship
Initiative (LSSI) is one of those hubs. A
complete list of community partners is on
the website.
Take a look at the GLSI and LSSI websites to learn about: grant-making
activities, projects at participating
schools, community partners, information
about place-based and community-based
learning, and teacher professional
development opportunities. To learn more,
please contact a member of the LSSI
leadership team listed below. The LSSI
leadership team facilitates connecting
teachers with community partners to develop
strategies and methods for using stewardship
needs as a context for learning.
