WATERVILLE – A Project Learning Tree seminar will be held at Little Pine State Park on June 18 from 8:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.
This will be open to educators and youth group leaders in the IU 17 (Blast), IU 9 (Seneca Highlands), IU 10 (Central) and IU 16 (Central Susquehanna) geographical areas who teach at grade levels kindergarten through eighth grade.
Project Learning Tree is a nationally-used curriculum supplement intended for use by educators teaching at pre-kindergarten through eighth grade level.
The Project Learning Tree manual is divided into five modules, each with an underlying theme. The activities in each module use a hands-on approach to reinforce the theme.
Each activity is organized the same. Each contains a brief summary, objectives, materials needed, making connections and background information. This is followed by step-by-step directions on how to do the activity. At the end of the activity, there are sections for assessment, extensions, and resources.
Participants who complete the seminar will receive the Project Learning Tree activity guide and other related materials. Participants will also receive six hours for Act 48.
There is a $10 fee for this seminar, and pre-registration is required. The minimum registration for this seminar is 10, and the maximum is 20. Registration is now open, on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration will close at 4 p.m. June 11, and if the minimum is not reached, the seminar will be cancelled.
