ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:Join us for dynamic and hands-on educator workshops that bring together Project WILD and Project Learning Tree (PLT) curricula to foster environmental literacy and stewardship in the next generation. These workshops are designed to empower educators with practical tools to connect students to the natural world through inquiry-based learning, critical thinking, and active exploration. By attending, you’ll help foster future generations of environmentally literate, compassionate, and engaged citizens.
Morning Session, 9 AM to Noon: Tailored for early childhood educators, this session will focus on interactive, age-appropriate activities that inspire wonder and curiosity about nature in children ages 3-6 from PLT's "Trees & Me" and WILD's "Growing Up WILD" curriculum resources. Learn how to integrate playful, sensory-based learning into your classroom to develop early environmental awareness.
Afternoon Session, 1 to 4 PM: Geared toward elementary educators (adults working with youth grades K-5), this session provides hands-on strategies and activities to meet learning standards in science, math, social studies, and english language arts ~ all while engaging students in environmental education utilizing PLT's "Explore Your Environment" and WILD's "Aquatic WILD" curricula. Discover how to integrate science, literacy, and creative problem-solving to nurture environmental responsibility and knowledge.
Participants will walk away with certificates for professional development hours, sets of both Project Learning Tree and Project WILD curriculum guides, and the hands-on, heads-on knowledge to integrate environmental education into your instruction right away.
