Submit a Workshop Proposal! The Pennsylvania Association of Environmental Educators (PAEE) welcomes proposals for workshops and presentations for its annual March conference. What examples of excellence—programs, events, courses, curricula, natural history information, etc.—can you share? This conference is about CONNECTIONS - how we connect people to the environment. Workshops can fit under the following strands: Teaching methods:
Discover how creative and lasting connections can be made; social media, urban programming, special audiences and even the family kitchen
Model programs:
Existing programs for summer camps, schools, current curricula, etc that are successful models for connecting people with the environment
Environment:
Trends and issues in the natural world; natural history, environmental issues, initiatives and programs dealing with issues
End goals:
stewardship, sustainability and framing education/information with an eye on the future
Ideal workshops are interactive, engaging, and relevant to multiple members of the environmental education community. We encourage you to go beyond PowerPoint, using experiential and hands-on techniques. 1. Workshop Title/Presentation _____________________________________________________ 2.
