WORKSHOPS
Join Metro RESA and EEA for an exciting in-person workshop series about teaching 3-Dimensional Science and STEM in outdoor settings. Learn how to engage students in observation of natural phenomena, making nature connections, and real-world problem-solving. Become skilled at using environmental stewardship to create context for exploring and making sense of science concepts. Take just one workshop, a combination of two, or earn a micro-credential from Metro RESA for completion of all three workshops. Open to K-12 teachers in any part of the state.

Join us to increase student engagement in Science and STEM by taking the class outside! The first in a series of 3 day-long, face-to-face PL events, this exciting workshop will explore ways to integrate STEM with outdoor learning, using the “3-Dimensional” approach with which the Georgia Standards of Excellence in Science were intended to be taught. Participants will engage in interactive lessons for grades K-12 that blend science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in schoolyard settings where students can observe natural phenomena and conduct authentic investigations to make sense of core ideas. Participants will receive resources to enhance their teaching practice, including access to curated websites and sample lessons. $99 alone or discounted if combined with other workshops in the series.

In this second of 3 hands-on workshops, participants will delve into essential elements of outdoor Project-Based Learning (PBL) that engages students in critical thinking and authentic, real-world problem-solving. Participants will explore root cause analysis and problem identification strategies; community / citizen science; ecoengineering challenges; 3-dimensional GREAT Project storylines; and student-directed projects. Participants will receive resources to enhance their teaching practice, including access to a curated collection of PBL models, frameworks, and sample projects. Prerequisite: completion of Course 1 or permission from Dr. Biwott based on experience with 3-Dimensional Science and Outdoor Learning. |

Design effective 3-Dimensional Outdoor Science and STEM units to be implemented in the schoolyard! In this third of 3 hands-on workshops, participants will have the opportunity to revise and adapt existing lessons and to create new learning plans that connect Science and STEM content with outdoor phenomena and investigations. Participants will leave this workshop with lessons and projects that are ready to implement; templates, frameworks, rubrics and tools for creating future units; and increased capacity to spark curiosity and engage students in 3-dimensional outdoor science or STEM! Prerequisite: completion of Course 1 or permission from Dr. Biwott based on experience with 3-Dimensional Science and Outdoor Learning. |
