Camp Conservation for Teachers: A Virtual Workshop Series

Let’s make learning fun by exploring the natural environment!
Join Alabama Extension at Alabama A&M and Project Learning Tree (PLT) to learn new techniques for integrating environmental education into science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (E-STEM) learning in your K-8 classrooms. Each session will include lessons from the award-winning PLT environmental education curriculum as well as offerings from Alabama Extension that will engage and excite your students.
-----------------------------
What to Expect
The Camp Conservation for Teachers series offers lesson plans and activities provided by a diverse group of presenters from across the state. Each lesson and activity exposes educators to new environmental teaching opportunities designed for formal or informal settings. They also increase a child’s ability to PERFORM:
  • Problem solve
  • Evaluate
  • Reason
  • Focus
  • Observe
  • Research a problem
  • Measure
This professional development course offers six continuing education units (CEUs) through the Alabama Math Science Technology Initiative (AMSTI).
