This five-day annual workshop, co-sponsored by the U.S. EPA and the NC Wildlife Resources Commission, is specifically intended for NC Teaching Fellows (college students preparing to teach in North Carolina's public schools). The primary purpose will be to present varied conceptual and motivational environmental education classroom and field experiences to preservice teachers, enabling them to better transfer enthusiasm for teaching ecology and the process of scientific inquiry to their students from the beginning of their teaching career. Much of the week will be spent hiking, exploring, observing, and in hands-on educational activities in different ecological settings in the mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee. Emphasis will be placed on: 

• The scientific method process and the Standard Course of Study of North Carolina in science and social studies

• Project WILD activities 
• Air Quality Monitoring and Research Programs at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park
