Project WILD's state
coordinators and their facilitators (who are trained to lead
workshops) conduct workshops (usually six hours long) for
educators within their state. The Project WILD K-12 Curriculum
and Activity Guide, the Project
WILD Aquatic K-12 Curriculum and Activity Guide, and
Science and Civics Sustaining Wildlife are
provided to those who participate in Project WILD
Educator workshops.
At these lively
and engaging professional workshops, participants are introduced
to Project WILD materials, activities, and strategies. Through
hands-on practice, educators gain the experience and confidence
needed to work with their students and to integrate Project
WILD into their teaching.
.
Project WILD workshops
vary according to local needs and resources. However, workshops
typically include an overview of the program, participation
in Project WILD activities, information about the wildlife
in your state, and curriculum or program plans for using Project
WILD with students. Correlations of Project WILD activities
to your state's content standards are generally available
upon request.
As a part of Project
WILD's commitment to environmental education in general, workshop
leaders connect educators to other national and statewide
programs, along with resources that offer quality environmental
education. Project WILD workshops include information about
additional curriculum materials, training opportunities, individuals,
agencies, and organizations that serve as resources; and materials
about the natural resources and environmental issues within
a given state.
Contact your Project
WILD State Coordinator for a list of scheduled workshops
and registration information. |
