Educator Workshop

Let's Go Native!

Friday, January 29 & Saturday, January 30, 2010

 The Funk Heritage Center holds workshops for teachers each year. Plans for the 2009-2010 year include holding a January workshop presented by Karen Garland, Environmental Coordinator from the Georgia Conservancy.  These workshops are scheduled for a Friday evening and Saturday. One PLU can be awarded for attending both days. The workshop is open to the public and many people who are not educators enjoy attending these workshops which include information about our environment, gardening and nature.

Native Seasons and Native Waters Workshop

Target audience: Classroom teachers, homeschool parents, scout leaders, other youth group leaders, and the general public.

Course Description:   

Georgia’s Native Waters: Designed to be more than conservation education this curriculum is 212 pages of interdisciplinary lessons and over 55 activities for kindergarten through twelfth grade students that inspire them to apply classroom knowledge to real-world situations through the investigation of many of Georgia's amazing aquatic ecosystems as found in each of Georgia’s five diverse eco-regions, while at the same time connecting how community values can impact these areas.

Georgia’s Native Seasons: When you study the natural world you discover that life has few definite beginnings and endings, but rather passes through stages that are part of a continuing cycle. As the seasons revolve, many organisms alter their routines to compensate for the changing temperatures and available food. In this interactive workshop you will explore the changes that occur in the flora and fauna throughout the Georgia seasons.

Registration fee:  $40.00 per person, includes 2 curricula and numerous resources.  Directions and program details mailed out upon registration.
