For the second year, Great River Energy is offering $420 scholarships for K-12 teachers to attend Energy Education in the Classroom at our Maple Grove headquarters. We have a number of teachers already enrolled, but there is room for more and the registration deadline has been extended to July 26.

Energy Education in the Classroom is a teacher training course taught by the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. Through hands-on activities, class discussions and peer teaching, teachers get the tools and information they need to easily integrate energy education into their curriculum. They get:
• 400-page activity guide full of course outlines and adaptations
• Other tools and materials, such as classroom handouts
• One graduate credit

To receive the $420 GRE scholarship, teachers must live OR teach in an area served by one of GRE’s members. NOTE: If the school includes students whose parents are served by one of GRE’s members, the teacher will receive the scholarship. There is a $75 teacher fee due the first day of class.
