Project Learning Tree Workshop at the Buttonwood Park Zoo
Buttonwood Park Zoo in New Bedford is hosting a Project Learning Tree workshop for Early Childhood and Early Elementary Educators on Saturday, September 6, 9:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m..
Project Learning Tree's curriculum builds on what's familiar and
interesting to young children and engages them in experiencing and learning
about the natural world. Participants will receive two PLT
Educator Guides: Environmental
Experiences for Early Childhood (includes eleven major themes
with activities structured in a typical PreK format) and the PreK-8 Guide
(includes ninety-six activities and supporting resources).
These award-winning guides are only available by attending
workshops. The Early Childhood Experiences curriculum
meets NAEYC criteria and the Head Start Child Outcomes Framework.
The PreK-8 Guide is correlated with current national standards.
Educators will participate in activities from the PLT
curriculum and discuss their application individual teacher's situations,
in a supportive, collegial atmosphere. Weather permitting, we will
incorporate zoo exhibits into the workshop.
Limited enrollment, $35 per person includes zoo admission.
