Making Environmental Education Authentic and Locally Relevant

Making Environmental Education
Authentic and Locally Relevant

Workshop Date: May 15, 2021

Grades 6-12
Presented By: Scientific Adventures for Girls

Learn how to set up a series of lessons where students take opposing roles and defend their position while debating the pros/cons of an environmental proposal. Students first research how to best defend their position with supporting evidence in small groups, then prepare for the culminating debate and eventually cast a vote for or against the proposed issue. Get an overview of the set up, teaching strategies, including classroom management tips, then experience the process in mini mock lessons.

The mission of CRS is to empower teachers and STEM professionals serving schools in historically marginalized communities to activate TK-8 students’ curiosity about the world, foster critical thinking, and inspire children to imagine future career pathways. We envision a community of educators, scientists, families and partners working together to build school cultures that equip all children to explore the world around them and build the skills needed to become innovators, problem solvers, environmental stewards, life-long learners and leaders. CRS leads a dynamic network, fostering relationships and collaborations that leverage expertise and resources to transform science teaching and learning toward greater equity, opportunity, and success for all students.

 

Our goal is simple: help teachers give students more opportunities to “do science” – to ask questions, test ideas, get their hands on real science activities. We need to inspire the next generation of thinkers, makers, problem solvers, and leaders!
