Boreal Institute

Focused on the Boreal Forest and current issues related to the area and its people. I gained multiple perspectives on the issues from plant and wildlife experts, government agency representatives, industry officials and, most importantly, Aboriginals. What sets Inside Education apart from the others is that they take you out to the area of study and immerse you in the issues related to it. We visited and analyzed the forest, past and future logging sites, an in-situ oil sands operation, and a view from a helicopter. In my opinion, these experiences provided by Inside Education and their sponsors are very beneficial and interesting professional development experiences for teachers.
