2008 Local Government Seminar
Local Government and our Environment:
teaching students about local governments' "green" decisions
For the past six years, the North Carolina City and County Management Association has sponsored a summer seminar for middle and high school teachers.
The 2008 Seminars will focus on the environmental decisions that our local governments make. From managing our water, to overseeing landfills, to providing public transportation--local governments make many decisions about the environment.
Teachers will learn about local government through simulations, meetings with local government officials, and visits to local government facilities. Participants will receive lesson plans aligned to the NC Standard Court of Study, making it easy to share your favorites with colleagues once you return to the classroom.
The NC City & County Management Association covers all participant costs (travel, hotel, and meals) for the seminar, and substitute teacher costs will be reimbursed if not covered by the participants' district.
