(Online) Salmon Outside! Taking Student Learning Outdoors
Event Information
About this event
Attention Formal and Nonformal Educators in the Central Washington Watershed!
Join Tiffany Bishop from the Yakima Basin Environmental Education Program and Emily Smith from the Mid-Columbia Fisheries Enhancement Group in this immersive online experience.
Learn more about salmon, the connection between our watershed and the Pacific Ocean, and how these resources are impacted by a changing climate. The sponsors and participants will work together to craft accessible and meaningful field-based experiences in a distance learning environment. Gain skills and confidence to help students get the most out of home-based and field-based learning, and build interdisciplinary learning opportunities affectionately known as “meaningful watershed education experiences” (MWEE’s).
The four online workshops in this series are:
- August 4 | Adapt a MWEE: Making the most of the "New Normal" in education systems
- August 6 | Salmon In and Out of the Classroom: Ideas for sparking salmon learning away from the tank
- August 11 | Community Huddle: Collectively, we can bring meaningful watershed experiences to all students
- August 13 | Walking in With a MWEE: Sponsors will help you walk away with a fully-formed field experience to use with students this year
Participants may attend one, some or all the online workshops.
Eligible workshop participants can earn up to 6 Washington State approved STEM clock hours!
