St. Michael Lutheran School is one of nine PLT
schools in the state of Florida. Project Learning
Tree (PLT) is an award-winning environmental
education program designed for teachers and other
educators working with students in pre-kindergarten
through grade 12. The PLT School Program helps
individual schools establish an ongoing commitment
to environmental education through regular use of
PLT activities. In addition to attending an educator
workshop, the school selects a PLT School
Coordinator that acts as a liaison between the
teaching faculty and the PTL state coordinator.
Rather than an isolated training event, the Florida
PLT Schools program provides a way for teachers to
integrate the environment into the classroom and
connect with other teachers in the PLT Learning
community. The program also helps network the school
with sponsors from a variety of public and private
organizations creating partnerships and a sense of
community.
The PLT School
Program is a special award and signifies that
· at least
fifty percent of the teaching faculty from an
elementary school or fifty percent of the teaching
faculty at grade or subject level in a middle or
high school have participated in a PLT educator
workshop
· the school
has chosen either one week each year as PLT Week or
the teachers incorporate at least 5 activities from
PLT into their lesson plans throughout the year
· the school
has selected a PLT Coordinator from the faculty.
