Project Learning Tree PreK-12 Curriculum Workshop
February 17, 2012
9am - 4pm
Central Middle School
Dobson, NC
To Register: Martha Hyde hydema@surry.k12.nc.us
Project Learning Tree (PLT) is an interdisciplinary environmental education program designed for educators of ANY background. The hands-on activities facilitate the exploration of topics including communication, economics, energy and fuels, geology, government, history, recycling, transportation, watersheds, wildlife, and much more!
Differentiated instruction? Technology connections? Literature links? Standard course of study? The PLT activity guide covers it all, and the PreK-8 guide is correlated to the NC Standard Course of Study in science, math, language arts, and social studies. CEU renewal credits are available and this workshop qualifies for Criteria I in the EE Certification Program.
Please pre-register and make a personal commitment to attend the workshop so ensure there are enough materials. Please cancel in a timely manner if you cannot attend. This workshop will focus on the PreK-8 Activity Guide and the secondary module, Forests of the World. The workshop will be ideal for anyone working with students in grades 5th - 12th, especially since the Forests of the World guide can be adapted to younger grades and incorporates social studies and geography concepts.
