Rangelands - Curriculum Workshop

REGISTER NOW 

Join us on September 19th, 2011 to learn how to make connections to the community and make science and social studies more interesting and understandable to your students. 

 

The workshop uses an integrated curriculum guide developed by Welder Wildlife Foundation for teaching students the importance of conservation of rangelands.  Participants will receive the Rangeland Conservation Education Guide with 27 student-centered lessons including field activities, games, computer and Internet activities, science investigations and inquiry, and community resources.

 

Participating teachers receive CPE credit and are eligible for district g/t credit based on the depth and complexity provided in the activities including higher order thinking, problem solving, synthesis, and application of what students learned through creative products and presentations.

 

The curriculum focuses on science, integrates social studies and uses language arts and math skills in activities investigating soil, water, wildlife, ecology and stewardship. Lessons use a variety of teaching methods to meet the needs of all students.

 

All lessons are aligned with the core TEKS which are documented with each lesson including the new science and social studies TEKS.

 

Activities are planned to be inexpensive and easy for the teacher to implement.  Classroom materials needed are minimal, equipment used are those things required by the science TEKS and are things the teacher will already have access to such as hand lenses, rulers and computers.
