The schedule below is a working draft; sessions may be added/removed or reassigned to different days and/or time slots. We will provide notification once the final schedule is published.
In this session, we will discuss the Eco-Schools USA awards progression and incorporate PBL and science curriculum resources into a plan that will help teachers prepare to reach their desired award level by the end of the 2017-2018 school year. Participants will be asked to update their Eco-Schools dashboard (please bring a computer if possible) and work in teams to create their action plans. The teachers will come away with an action plan and timeline for success. This workshop is for current registered Eco-Schools only and multiple team members from each school are encouraged. If you would like to participate and are not currently a registered Eco-School, please contact the presenter at bishopk@nwf.org BEFORE registering.
