Education has been at the center of the "Monty and Rose" project. The film has been shown in elementary classrooms, libraries and community centers, to youths and adults. It was the subject of a professional development workshop for teachers, presented by Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum.
We've put together resources for K-12 teachers on Teachers Pay Teachers that introduce students to Monty and Rose and include a discussion guide, PowerPoint and FAQs about Great Lakes Piping Plovers. A streaming link to the film is available with purchase and could be a good fit for an array of extension activities, including for home schoolers and other e-learners. The resources align with Next Generation Science Standards in Ecology, Ecosystem Dynamics and others and applies to most grade bands.
