KEEP Scholarships
New Glarus Light & Water provides scholarships to local
teachers to attend KEEP – the statewide K-12 Energy Education Program.
KEEP is a 16-hour in-service that helps teachers integrate
hands-on energy education activities into their classrooms. The program also
demonstrates how teachers can use energy education to ensure that their students
meet Wisconsin academic standards. The teachers receive continuing education
credits for attending KEEP classes.
KEEP makes the sometimes-intimidating topic of energy
understandable to students of all ages. Second grades can learn about the coal
mining process as they “find resources” in chocolate chip cookies. Middle
school students can experiment with properties of motors by modeling an electric
motor. High school students can discuss “energy futures” by studying energy
trends and new technologies.

email.
