The eight-hour session, which begins at 8 a.m., is for physical
education teachers who wish to join the DNR's Archery in the Schools
program. Teachers attending the session will receive .7 SB-CEU's from
the Michigan Department of Education.
Archery in the Schools introduces international-style target
archery to students in 4th through 12th grade physical education
classes. The in-school curriculum's core content covers archery
history, safety, technique, equipment, mental concentration and
self-improvement. Some of the advantages of implementing the Archery
in the Schools program are that students of all skill levels can
achieve success in archery, and it can engage students who might not
otherwise be inclined to participate in traditional athletics. To
date, more than 200 schools across Michigan have implemented the
program.

The DNR also is offering archery equipment grants to schools, both
public and private, that enroll in the Archery in the Schools program.
