Fellow Science Educators and Resource Caretakers-
NH has a long history of educational outreach and protection of its natural resources.
Their connection between resources and education has a new partner.
NH Dept of Education and NHPublic TV have joined forces to extend on-line workshops to teachers specifically selected to meet the needs of NH teachers as they prepare for the changes in the new science education frameworks. These on-line workshops also offer opportunities for teachers to showcase their own fieldwork while gain credit in the process.
We urge you to alert the NH teachers that work with your organization to take advantage of this opportunity.
See: http://nheon.org/opennh, or contact Stan Freeda, Open NH Project Coordinator, NHDOE at 271-5132
Two courses are specifically directed to promote informal/formal science relationships:
Designing a Virtual Field Trip (Science)
Transforming the Classroom with Project Based Learning
We look forward to working together towards protecting NH's resources and engaging citizens in maintaining their resources.
