Green Education Part I - Greening the Curriculum - the online version   



 

About the Workshop: 

Ecoliteracy - education for sustainable living.  Place-based ecoliteracy curriculum, edible schoolyards, the connections among food, culture, health and the environment, and the Leave No Child Inside movement are some exciting ideas you will explore in this workshop on taking your curriculum green. 

Learn how to design and deliver a curriculum that integrates ecoliteracy into a project-based, interdisciplinary curriculum that meets all the standards (exceed them, actually!), promotes nutrition, physical fitness, civic literacy, service learning, financial literacy, media literacy and more.  Create the ultimate 21st century curriculum - relevant, rigorous and real-world - as your students engage in projects ranging from gardening and cooking, to multimedia production, to scientific investigations related to the environment.

This online course is designed to deliver our regional workshop, A Million Dollars - How to Fund Your Dream School or Project, a one-day (7-hour) workshop, via distance learning.  Rather than physically traveling to a site and participating in face-to-face discussions and activities with fellow attendees, you will gain your knowledge via a variety of approaches:

  • Online lessons delivered via text, video and audio formats

  • Conducting your case study analyses online rather than in small discussion groups

  • Presenting your findings and demonstrating your learning online rather than in person

  • If enrolled with a team, you will be able to share your ideas in a Collaboration web page set up for your team

  • You will receive individualized support via email from the facilitator.

Upon the conclusion of this workshop/course, and the presentation of your product, you will receive the same certificate of completion as participants who have attended this workshop on-site in various cities.  This may be presented to your school district for credit toward professional development hours.  Certificates are for 14 hours of professional development.

The pluses are that you will be able to conduct your studies on your own schedule and hours, and you will save money on air fare, hotels and meals.

The minuses are that you will not have the face-to-face interaction with other educators as they study, discuss, plan and share.
