April 24 @ 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM

This workshop will provide an overview of the three-dimensions of NGSS and how Project Learning Tree activities can help meet the standards. We will explore what is a performance assessment, delve into a few disciplinary core ideas and discuss cross cutting concepts. Project Learning Tree is an activity-based, supplementary curricula that support the teaching of conservation and science concepts. The activities are both interactive and interdisciplinary. As students are intrinsically interested in wildlife, trees and the outdoors, they readily engage in learning. Activities can be readily infused into everyday school subjects and busy classrooms.
