The City of Lexington is once again offering teachers a chance to learn about some of the environmental challenges the city faces. The Teachers’ Environmental Academy is accepting applications for two week-long workshops, in June for kindergarten and elementary school teachers, and in July for middle and high-school teachers. Danny Woolums is the education coordinator for the city’s Department of Environmental Quality and Public Works.
“We take the teachers behind the scenes for the week, we give them tours for different areas. And then we give them different curriculum resources. So that way, they can then bring them back into the classroom, hopefully, to show students and get them excited about what's happening here.”
