Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences Educational Workshop

For High School and Career and Technical Center Teachers

1.5 Continuing Education Credits Available

Tuesday, June 21st, 2022 - Thursday, June 23rd, 2022

Welcome to the first Professional Development Workshop for Teachers in Natural Resources and the Environmental Sciences! We are very excited to offer this opportunity for educators around the state of Ohio who seek to use the natural environment as a classroom for students.

The workshop is divided into several sessions across two days. The objective of this workshop is to share resources for teaching a range of environmental topics. Attendees will be introduced to several natural resource-based fields and will participate in targeted lessons related to each of these fields. We'll provide lesson plans for all the instruction you receive.

The workshop will include break-out sessions where attendees can share success stories from their own classrooms. At the conclusion of the workshop, attendees will earn 1.5 CEUs for their participation.

Teacher training is the workshop's goal, with specific attention to training in different natural resources and environmental science fields. You will be asked to participate in structured learning opportunities as if you were a student in a class learning about environmental topics. Our emphasis will be on in-the-field education, though in this case, “the field” may be as small as a single tree or wetland. It is not site-dependent on the Hocking College campus. You'll be able to easily take what you learn during the workshop back to your classroom.
