Teaching the World about Wind!
July 29 - August 4, 2012
In the summer of 2008 we started to building the WindSenators Education Network with eight motivated teachers from NY, we now have over 65 WindSenators in 22 states. These highly qualified and dedicated educators have impacted thousands of teachers and hundreds of thousands of students in the last four years through teacher workshops, KidWind Challenges and a variety of engaging regional events.
In 2012 we are looking for another 25 educators who are interested in helping us work with teachers to improve wind energy education in their region. This training is a unique opportunity which combines improving your knowledge about wind energy science and teaching about wind in K-12 classrooms using a wide array of curricula and educational materials.
If you want to learn about wind energy from the experts and share this knowledge with teachers and students in your state or region this is the program for you.
We Need Leaders!
The WindWise Education program has a goal of creating a nationwide network of 150 WindSenators in 40 states in the next five years. During these next 5 years we seek to hold at least 1000 training events impacting 30,000 teachers who impact 1,500,000 students. With the help of a dedicated team, this vision can be realized.
As a WindSenator you will be part of this team and will be certified to provide trainings and represent WindWise and KidWind at conferences, events and workshops. The WindSenators Education Network will provide states with knowledgeable, experienced wind energy educators that can help others get the tools and information they need to teach students and the public about wind energy.
While we are looking for educators interested in learning and impacting other educators, we understand that some teachers are just looking for a program to learn more about wind energy and how to integrate these subjects into the classroom. Be assured that this is one of the primary goals of the WindSenators training program. As a graduate you will be armed with a variety of ideas and methods you can use in your classroom teach about wind energy and if you are motivated to get out and work with other teachers or students we are there to support you.
