Attention NH Middle and High Teachers!
We are writing to inform you of a unique opportunity available to you. It
is called Forest For Every Classroom (FFEC) and it is a year-long
professional development series for middle and high school teachers.
The FFEC workshop series offers you:
. Training in world-class forest research by scientists and
academics at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest.
. A field-based exploration of important private and public forests
in our region, spanning all four seasons.
. Authentic field-work methods and award-winning curriculum
materials from Project Learning Tree .
. Hands-on, active sessions presented by naturalists, foresters,
industry experts, and others passionate about the future of forest
stewardship.
. Strategies for increasing student academic achievement through
place-based education, inquiry and field investigations.
. Service learning fundamentals and case studies.
. Curricula and resource materials for teaching about and using
forests to learn about ecology, stewardship, civics, geography, watersheds,
and more.
. 3 Graduate credit option through Plymouth State University
(additional fee for credits).
. A network of educators, scientists and resource specialists
working side by side with teachers.
. Mini-grants up to $200 upon completion of a new or modified unit
involving the forest.
The deadline to register is June 8th . The link is
http://www.nhplt.org/index.php/calendar/event/31/.
NOTE: Also, if you prefer to put the $200 mini grant towards your
registration fee (so registration would be $200) that is possible.
In my eight years of teaching secondary science, PLT's Forest for Every
Classroom has been the most stimulating and practical professional
development experience that I've had. FFEC changed the way I teach, year
after year. Imagine learning field techniques and activities that will turn
your students into young scientists. Imagine getting instruction from
experts in forestry, natural history, watersheds, and wildlife. Imagine
receiving and practicing with curriculum materials that you can take back to
your classroom and really use. And, imagine receiving ongoing support from
PLT staff and your FFEC classmates after you return to school. This is the
way professional development is supposed to be. This is FFEC.
