Educator Handbook: Introduction

Introduction

This handbook was designed as a guide to help you and your students have a safe, positive learning experience during your visit to the Falls of the Ohio - a place that can serve as your ultimate outdoor classroom!              

The Interpretive Center offers a variety of programs and mediums through which persons may experience the Falls on many levels. We can guide you through your first visit or provide an up-to-the-minute river condition report for your 1000th!    

The pre-visit, on-site visit and the post-visit activities in this Handbook are designed to encourage each person to “experience” the Falls with all of their senses. You may use any activities you choose - or create your own. We are always seeking new educational activities to share! If you have an activity, tell us about it.                           

We hope that each person leaves the Falls with a better understanding of both the natural and cultural history which makes the Falls of the Ohio so unique.  Ideally, we hope that each person leaves with a desire to learn even more.
