Join the National Park Service for a fun and informative workshop using nature, wildlife, and the forest as an exciting vehicle and catalyst for interdisciplinary curriculum enhancement. Project WET and Project Learning Tree are teacher-tested, nationally recognized teacher training programs for environmental education that include ready-to-use curriculum activity guides. Workshop attendees will learn through participation in hands-on Project WET and Project Learning Tree activities and peer teaching at our Chattahoochee River Environmental Education Center lodge on Friday. Your attendance and completion of the workshop will result in Project Wild and Project Learning Tree educator certification.
This workshop is open to all formal and non-formal educators, nature center staff, natural resource managers, youth organization leaders, and all interested volunteers. Please join us for this very fun and informative workshop.
