Opportunity: 2012 Professional Development Grants from Classroom Earth
Through one of the several newsletters I am subscribed to, I came across this interesting grant opportunity for middle school and high school teachers in the US. The grant specifically enables a teacher that meets the eligibility criteria to take a course on Conservational Biology or Habitat Ecology tailored for educators.
This sounds like a great opportunity for teachers who are looking for professional development, and at the same time benefit their students. All of this comes in great time for the National Environmental Education Week.

Classroom Earth
I wanted to dig deeper and found out that Classroom Earth is a collaborative effort of the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF) and the Weather Channel, to promote, as is obvious from the name, environmental education in the US. This appears to be a great initiative all around.
