Workshop on environmental issues for educators

Posted

MILFORD, PA — A free workshop for educators in the tri-state region is being offered on October 17 from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. (lunch provided) at Grey Towers National Historic Site. Project Learning Tree’s (PLT) GreenSchools! inspires teachers and students to take responsibility for improving the environment at their schools, homes and in their communities. This nationwide environmental service-learning program helps improve students’ academic performance in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) subjects while providing teachers and students with the training and resources to create healthier schools and save money.

The interactive workshop is targeted to teachers of grades five through 12. Participants will learn about PLT background information and curricula, the path to becoming a certified PLT GreenSchool!, monitoring different environmental issues and parameters, investigating applications to their schools and communities, and developing an action plan to investigate their schools. The instructor is James McGirt, manager of education programs at Project Learning Tree.
