Project Learning Tree Educator Training
Participants will experience Project Learning Tree's® new Explore Your Environment: K-8 Activity Guide which includes 50 hands-on, multidisciplinary activities to connect children to nature and increase young people's awareness and knowledge about their environment. Activities integrate teaching about the environment into a multitude of subjects using hands-on classroom studies and outdoor field investigations. The guide is user-friendly, and works in classrooms and nonformal settings, in urban, suburban, and rural areas. Educators can expect to find academic standards connections, STEM skills, assessment opportunities, along with enrichment activities, and how to Take it Outside!
PLT is for classroom teachers, nonformal educators, youth leaders, parents, and anyone working with youth ages 6 through 14.
