The network of service learning partners (teachers, administrators, community partners), that has come to be known as the Truckee Tahoe Regional Education Coalition (TTREC), has had an impressive year. After Cathryn Berger Kaye’s visit last year, TTREC partners decided to meet monthly, host partner presentations and work together to host the Youth Global Climate Change Symposium. Over the course of the school year, we heard from Jeff Brown (Sagehen), Doug Stoup (IceAxe), and Peter Mayfield (Gateway Mountain Center). Scott Terrell hosted a workshop for teachers, in preparation for the Youth Global Climate Change Symposium. Jill Mac Gregor hosted students at Teichert Aggregates for a day of restoration planting, water quality monitoring, and concrete making (see their stepping stones at Glenshire Elem).
