This workshop has been revised this year in partnership with the Jane Goodall Institute of Canada and Learning for a Sustainable Future.
Workshop GOALS include:
* To help participants gain a deeper understanding of the importance of environmental education and sustainable practices connect to the classroom and the community.
* To effectively integrate environmental education through cross-curricular connections
* To provide members with practical, classroom-tested strategies that support the care and protection of the environment
* To explore strategies to turn ideas into social action in the classroom, on the school yard and in the local community.
