Program Description
These workshops introduce classroom teachers to lesson plans and ideas for incorporating nature and natural resources into their existing curricula. Each teacher will receive a free book of activities and the workshop is primarily a chance to experience the activities first-hand, give and receive feedback from other teachers, and develop methods for incorporating these resources into the classroom. There is a focus on place-based education and modifying generic lessons to reference NYC to be more relevant to students. All workshops are free of charge and can be requested for a PD day at your school, after-school site, or educational non-profit.
