Registration due date: August 5, 2019
Session 1:
A school field trip to the zoo provides an opportunity for young learners to observe animals, connect with nature, build STEM skills, and develop empathy. Using a neuroscience and nature play lens, this course will focus on practical ways to cultivate science skills and social emotional learning. There will be an additional focus on ways to inclusively address these skills for young learners with diverse abilities.
Session 2:
A school field trip to the zoo can spark curiosity and provide an opportunity for students to observe animal-focused phenomena, from animal play to remarkable adaptations for survival. During this Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) focused course, participants will explore strategies for facilitating science learning experiences at the zoo. Experiences on zoo grounds, discussions, and activities will support participants in engaging students in STEM practices and building empathy for animals.
