ADIRONDACK
RESOURCES

The Adirondack Curriculum Project has successfully conducted workshops for K-12 teachers in Newcomb, Tupper Lake, Paul Smiths, Raquette Lake, Saranac Lake, and Lake George. Our workshops are hands-on, collaborative, and model the “Adirondack Challenge.” We provide experienced presenters, resource people, and teacher facilitators. Our goal is for each participant to leave with a challenge to use in the classroom that will both meet NYS Learning Standards,prepare students for assessments, and help students learn about the Adirondacks.

What did you like best about the workshop?

  • the organization
  • I enjoyed both days and felt you were a lot of help to us.
  • The lunches were great/ Leaving with a useful product.
  • The past 2 days were very productive for me as they allowed me to think about more creative and collaborative approach to teaching my students.
  • The structure, the opportunity for feedback, the collaborative nature of the effort, the focus on specific challenges of our choice.
  • I felt these 2 days were engaging and kept most involved. Time was used effectively.
  • I liked day 1 much more than Day 2. Day 2 boiled down to tedium in the afternoon. Did enjoy Day 2 morning getting to see everyones’ challenge and seeing good comments.

  • Accomplished a final product.
  • In the past two days I liked the humor and focussed direction of discussion.
  • This was a fabulous opportunity to collaborate and plan curriculum while establishing a great system for on-going curriculum planning.
  • These were very constructive and productive curriculum days. I am very appreciative of the fact I have a product I can use in my classroom.
