Joyfully Connecting Our Community with the Wonder of the Refuge



Educator Workshop - Teaching for Strong Communities and Sustainable Forests

  • April 11, 2015
  • 8:30 AM - 4:00 PM
  • Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge

Middle school students read about imaginary societies in the Hunger Games and unconsciously apply mathematical patterns to conquer the latest electronic game. They are adept at using these skills in imaginary worlds! This workshop will focus on applying those skills to their own environments. Guided by activities from the Project Learning Tree's K-8 Guide and The Place We Live, educators will see how math, science, humanities, visual and language arts can help middle school students transfer their skills to the places they actually live. Together, we'll spend the morning exploring interconnections in a local area, describing issues and proposing possible actions. Time for planning how to use similar activities with students in our local communities will be available in the afternoon. Our goal is to help you support students in using their skills to make informed decisions, exhibit responsible behavior, and take constructive actions that ensure a sustainable future.

All workshops are offered at no cost to Oregon educators unless otherwise noted. For further details and to register please visit: http://onrep.forestry.oregonstate.edu/, email: ONREP@oregonstate.edu, or call: (541)737-9121.
