Anyone who knows anything about the GMRI Education Team knows that we welcome a good experiment. This one was just too good to pass up.

August 20 closed out our 2010 Teacher Institute season. We shook things up this summer, took some risks, and moved our professional development approach many steps forward. I'm putting these good ideas right here in a safe place.

Today marks the last day of Rebecca Martin's Americorps term of service with Vital Signs through the Maine Conservation Corps. Hey Rebecca, how did you get all of that done in just one year?

Alexa was in beautiful Castine pulling off another stellar Vital Signs workshop - this time a 3-hour whirlwind tour at the MLTI Annual Summer Institute.

I was at my desk in steamy Portland chugging away on curriculum.

All of a sudden....

Contrary to Vital Signs methods, I tend to find things I'm not looking for.

The June Teacher Institute was a great success with an incredible group of teachers and educators. For a taste, here are some shots of our biodiversity investigation at Fort Williams Park in Cape Elizabeth.

Rachel Carson Wildlife Refuge staff and a group of committed volunteers staged a well fought battle against invading garlic mustard in and around a rare plant area in Kittery on Tuesday, May 11th.

Japanese knotweed sprouts were green and growing aggressively one day, and brown and limp the next. I couldn’t believe it. What was going on?

We're experimenting with just the right way to explain the Vital Signs community. Check out our latest and greatest, and let us know what you think....
