Are you looking for professional development? USEE is the Utah Coordinator for Project Learning Tree, Project WET and the NAAEE Guidelines for Excellence. We also offer webinars and training for formal and informal educators throughout the year.
Each curriculum program features many easy-to-use, hands-on, multidisciplinary activities that are designed to complement existing curricula rather than displace or add additional concepts. The activities can be used in both classroom and informal settings and can easily be adapted to meet the learning requirements for academic disciplines ranging from science and environmental education to social studies, math, and language arts. Educators may choose one or more activities to teach a concept or skill, integrate them into existing courses of study, or an entire set of activities may serve effectively as the basis for a specific course.
USEE’s Professional Development Workshops train educators to:
- Teach environmental education concepts outdoors, in the classroom & virtually
- How best to use the provided curriculum materials
- How to enhance (NOT reinvent) their current curriculum
- How to integrate multiple subjects for a single activity
- How to engage with and draw upon their community in learning about and taking action to address local environmental issues
All activities have been correlated to the Utah State Board of Education Standards, as well as national science, social studies, and environmental education standards.
All workshops are eligible for USBE Credit.
Workshop schedule for the 23-24 season TBD
