NYSDEC Teacher Workshops in Environmental Education


dec.jpgThe NYS Department of Environmental Conservation offers workshops for teachers, youth group leaders and educators using national environmental education programs.  The workshop activities and lessons correlate to NYS MST standards, and provide teachers with a curriculum guide and tools to help students strengthen their critical thinking, team building, and problem solving skills.  These workshops can be a valuable resource to augmenting an existing science curriculum with hands-on activities and games for your students. 

 

The workshops occur throughout the year.  See which ones work for you.

K - 12 Online Conference 2009

k12.jpg   The K-12 Online Conference is coming soon.  This FREE (we love free) conference is a great way to learn about new tools, see how other educators use these tools, and find out about new teaching practices.  There are archived videos to view and live elluminate sessions in which you can participate.  But for now, there is work to be done.

Do you have a great idea for a 20 minute presentation?  The K-12 Online Conference is looking for presenters.  Let’s show them how great the DEN really is!  You have until August 16th to submit your proposal so get them in now.

The conference organizers are also looking for people to help put the whole thing together.  No experience is required.  Just some great enthusiasm and a bit of time.  I know all our DEN members have plenty of enthusiasm!  Click here for more information.

This is a valuable conference opportunity.  Let’s get excited!
