LCC and other Champlain Basin Education Initiative (CBEI) partners present "Together We Build Resilience", a grades 6-12 educator workshop on place-based learning that investigates human and ecological interactions in the Lake Champlain Basin.
Hear from students and their teachers about the rewards and challenges of engaging with complex issues in place-based learning projects. Envision what topics and projects you want to bring into your classroom, hear advice from our student presenters, and practice incorporating youth voice in your design. Through this multifaceted one-day workshop we aim to highlight place-based learning opportunities in our watershed, encourage community learning and resilience, and strengthen youth voice in curriculum design.
Our student presenters will:
- showcase their work
- build skills presenting and providing feedback
- consider the purpose of their own education in a collegial and supportive setting
As a teacher participant, you will have the opportunity to:
- imagine and reflect upon new project ideas
- share ideas with students and receive feedback
