June 16 Environmental Educator Workshop Offered In Mechanicsburg
|
|
The Department of Environmental Protection, Mechanicsburg Middle School and Mechanicsburg Area Parks and Recreation Department are sponsoring a free Outdoor Learning Areas Workshop for Educators on June 16 in Mechanicsburg.
This workshop is geared for K-12 teachers and non-formal educators. Workshop participants will learn about creating, funding and maintaining outdoor learning areas on school grounds through presentations, hands-on activities and a field trip to the Trails and Trees Environmental Center.
Because of budget cuts, many schools are considering cutting outdoor environmental education field trips and experiences, although research shows that environmental education improves student learning.
The workshop will be held from 8:30 – 2:30 p.m. Teachers will be eligible for 5.0 Act 48 credit hours.
To register or for more information, contact Ann Devine, Environmental Education Coordinator DEP by sending email to: adevine@state.pa.us or calling 717-772-1644.
