Description

This workshop prepares teachers to deliver a unit of instruction in which students address human impact on the environment and human sustainability. Students will build a model of an eco-centered unit or exhibit that, when combined with classmates’, makes a collaborative building, such as an ecolodge, ecology museum, or other whole-concept design.  This course supports NGSS Science and Engineering Practices, Crosscutting Concepts, and several Disciplinary Core Ideas at multiple grade levels.  This unit can be customized to provide student choice and voice in learning design and products, is project-based, and can accommodate multiple grade bands.  The project-based learning concepts addressed in this workshop can be adapted to multiple subject areas and grade levels, and the unit can be delivered using multiple digital tools, including Sketchup, TinkerCad, Google Classroom, and It’sLearning.

This workshop is appropriate for upper elementary through high school teachers. Participants will leave this class with a project-based unit outline customized to their curriculum and grade band, including a bank of activities to accommodate student choice.
