Dunes Learning Center
700 Howe RdNaturalists, teachers, pre-service teachers, scout leaders, homeschool parents, and other adults interested in environmental education are invited to attend this Wildlife (Project WILD) Educator Workshop. Activities will be geared to understanding some of the “spooky” wildlife we think about this time of year: bats, spiders, owls and more.
Project WILD explores an individual’s understanding of wildlife and ecosystem sustainability to provide informed decisions to use natural resources wisely. In Indiana, we focus our training to our native wildlife and educator’s needs. Project WILD curriculum and activity guides:
Are easy to use
Work indoors or outdoors
Correlate with Common Core Standards, Next Generation Science Standards, and Indiana State Standards
Develop students’ conceptual skills such as analysis, classification, description, estimation, evaluation, inference, hypothesis formation, and problem solving
Workshop participants can earn continuing education hours through their attendance. The Indiana Department of Education recognizes attendance hours as points earned toward a Personal Growth Plan for formal educators.

Bring a mug for hot drinks, a water bottle too (weather could be hot or cold.) Please come prepared to participate in activities. Some of the activities will be outside, so dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes. Light morning snacks and lunch will be provided.
Space is limited! Registration is open until September 30 or until full.
