Project Learning Tree (PLT) is a cross-cutting 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 curriculum materials through direct engagement led by trained facilitators throughout the workshop.
Differentiated instruction? Technology connections? Literature links? STEM? The PLT activity guide covers it all!! The PreK-8 guide is correlated to the Common Core (math and ELA) as well as to the NC Essential Standards (science and social studies). CEU renewal credits are available and this workshop qualifies for Criteria I in the North Carolina EE Certification Program.
Please pre-register and make a personal commitment to attend to ensure there are enough materials and space for everyone. We ask that you please cancel registration in a timely manner if you cannot attend so someone else may take your place in this professional development workshop.
