L.A.N.D.S. 2018 Outreach Teacher Workshops – Harris Area – Multiple dates

August 9, 2018 @ 9:00 am - 4:00 pm

Advanced Training Opportunity: VMS category: AT: Outdoor Education Training for Volunteers

Learning Across New Dimensions in Science (L.A.N.D.S.) Outreach Workshops are six (6) hour hands-on trainingsthat introduce attendees to the Texas Wildlife Association, in-class and outdoor lessons and activities, and how to incorporate natural resources into classrooms or programming.  Lessons focus on teaching land stewardship, native wildlife, and water conservation and are Science TEKS-aligned for Grades K-8.

Upon completion of the workshop, we ask that each teacher in attendance incorporate the L.A.N.D.S. Outreach lessons and activities into their classrooms during the school year and provide TWA with feedback and evaluations of those lessons.  TWA educational staff will be available for post-workshop support and will follow up to ensure effectiveness.

Sampling of Science Units covered:Conservation and Land Stewardship • Characteristics of Environments • Structure/Function and Survival • Basic Needs • Inherited Traits and Resemblance • Ecosystems – Biotic and Abiotic • Groundwater, Surface Water, and Watersheds • Populations and Communities
