Welcome to Discover Nature Schools (DNS)! As your local Education Consultant, I will share with you all the amazing benefits of introducing our different outdoor-ecology based curriculum units to your students, including an introduction to the grant opportunties available such as funding for classroom equipment and travel reimbursement. We will also be conducting a few activities outside to bring this curriculum to life, so please be sure to wear comfortable shoes and clothing for the outdoors.
The professional development schedueld on October 18 serves as just an introduction to the DNS units - in order to qualify for the funding opporutnities, you will need to attend a 6 hour training for each unit following this introduction.
I am looking forward to meeting each of you and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at marybeth.factor@mdc.mo.gov or (417)255-9561 ext. 4755.
