Gunnison River Teacher Institute

Looking to expand your curriculum? Check out the Gunnison River Teacher Institute Field Based Course offered by Western State Colorado University! 

When: June 19th - 23rd, 8:00am-6:00pm 

Learn how to incorporate rivers into your curriculum, creating relevant context and connections for your students. This five-day, field-based course includes water management, river ecology, fisheries, and geography of the Colorado River Basin.

Rivers are the basis of our Colorado livelihoods and are critical to the future of our students and communities. Our natural affinity to water makes rivers and watersheds a useful and familiar context for cross-disciplinary teaching and learning.

Field experiences include: a visit to the Morrow Point and Blue Mesa dams, Roaring Judy Fish Hatchery tour, Gunnison River ecology field day, and a visit to Coldharbour Institute. The second part of the week incorporates participation in the Colorado Water Workshop conference engaging with water resource professionals from across Colorado.

Participants must register for the Colorado Water Workshop to earn 3 ENVS credits. All meals are included beginning Wednesday at noon; 3 credit course fee of $375; additional $40 course fee plus additional fee of $150 (50% discount) for Colorado Water Workshop. Total cost is $565.
