Monarch Teacher Network
The Monarch Teacher Network (MTN) is a growing network of (prek to 12th grade) teachers who have received training to use monarch butterflies to teach a variety of concepts and skills, including our growing connection with other nations and the need to be responsible stewards of the environment.
Exciting News: Have you seen the Journey’s and Transformations – The Monarch Butterfly Story DVD? This amazing production was created by and for the Monarch Teacher Network. The 28 minute DVD tells the story of the monarch: its life cycle, migration, connection to people and cultures of North America and broader environmental implications.
Here is what some people are saying about it:
· It is more useful and scientifically accurate than the Nova presentation on PBS “The Incredible Journey of the Butterflies.”
· Although purposely focused on younger people it appeals to all age groups and while retaining intellectual integrity, is emotionally engaging as well.
· What an awesome video. I bought a copy for all of my children and grandchildren.
· It is a great teaching tool for people of all ages, challenging people to work together for a sustainable future.
