Teachers Notes
Teachers: The Air Aware program involves a school presentation visit by a Clean Air Champion, Olympic, Paralympic or national team athlete. Visit Air Aware for more details and to Book A Champion visit.
NOTE: One introductory activity must be completed by your class prior to the Champion's presentation.
When you have completed an activity don't forget to complete and submit your ACTIVITY REPORT at www.airaware.net. Each completed activity report earns your class more chances for one lucky student to win a GIANT mountain bike.
Once you have completed the core activity(ies) we encourage your students (and school body) to take things further by completing a School-wide Activity. Some ideas for activities you can lead your school in have been provided for your consideration.
Please see the attachments for a selection of core activities for Grades 6-9 or Grades 10-12 as well as school-wide activities.
