Title: Teaching Outdoors w/ Aldo Leopold
Location: Aldo Leopold Nature Center – Monona, WI
Link out: Click here
Description: The curriculum materials are designed for use by teachers, interpreters, naturalists, park rangers, zoo educators, youth group leaders, as well as private citizens. Each lesson, based on Leopold’s writings, provides students with direct experiences to the natural world outside the school classroom by making greater use of the outdoors as a learning laboratory. Lessons are presented in an easy to use format. Leopold’s writings are both sound science and excellent literature, making them an outstanding tool for meaningful environmental education. This curriculum encourages flexibility, creativity, and experimentation in using the lessons in a variety of subject matter areas. It uses hands-on critical thinking activities to not only teach students about nature and conservation but to instill what Leopold called a “land ethic”, an appreciation of and respect for the land.
Attend both workshops for a college credit.. see flyer for details
Start Time: 8:45
Dates: 2010-06-14 & 2010-06-21
