Bridget Berg

Bridget Berg, a former teacher at Palouse Prairie Charter School in Moscow, Idaho, implemented a semester-long expedition titled "The 6th Mass Extinction" for 5th grade students. The project integrated standards-based learning with real-world environmental threats, leading students to research biomes and threatened species. The expedition culminated in a public performance at The Kenworthy theater, featuring voiced poems and watercolor art created from the perspective of endangered species to combat student apathy and foster leadership in conservation.

• The "The 6th Mass Extinction" expedition involved students researching the importance of biodiversity, the interconnectedness of ecosystems, and the specific risks facing various biomes and native threatened species, utilizing WWF's website as a reference.
• The educational approach aimed to prevent student apathy in the face of global crises, such as the IPCC report and the UN's warning regarding the potential extinction of one million species, by empowering students to use their voices as leaders in conservation.
