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! Participants will learn about the materials through direct engagement in the PLT activities throughout the workshop.

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 or II in the EE Certification Program.

Please bring a bag lunch and be prepared to be inside and outside throughout the workshop.
