This documentary is a follow up project to a short film we created with Inland Seas Education Association in the summer of 2017. In that documentary we featured a campaign put together by ISEA, NOAA, Earth Force, and other organizations that brought teachers from all over the Great Lakes Basin up to northern Michigan to take part in a week long, place-based watershed education program. In the follow up, we seek out a few of the teachers and see how their experience shaped their curriculums, and how the students responded. Spoiler Alert: They responded very well.
