More than 200 teachers and educators from 89 schools, 15 counties, and 10 organizations across Florida convened in Miami on July 15th and 16th for the 7th annual Everglades Teacher Symposium. The event marked the 10th anniversary of the Everglades Literacy Program, launched by The Everglades Foundation to educate and empower the next generation to restore and protect America’s Everglades.
Each year, the free, two-day symposium allows teachers to participate in professional development sessions, share best practices, channel their creativity, and network with other educators. Learn more about the Everglades Literacy Program and the 2024 Teacher Symposium here.
This year’s event kicked off with award-winning National Geographic photographer and Foundation Board member Mac Stone mesmerizing the crowd through a series of images, captured in often elusive areas of the Everglades. “The camera allows me to distill complex issues into simpler issues through imagery,” said Stone. “Photography can reveal worlds we never knew before.”
