“_The workshop introduced concepts that were new to me (like asset
mapping) and we got a chance to try it out. I liked the combination of
conceptual work and hands-on experience. Also talking to teachers from
different grade levels and schools made it a richer conversation_.”
– Anne Huckins, Tukwila School District
MAPPING NEIGHBORHOOD ASSETS, OPPORTUNITIES, AND PROBLEMS CAN ENGAGE
STUDENTS MORE DEEPLY IN SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING. LEARN HOW SYSTEM
MODELS, PATTERNS, AND OBSERVING CHANGE OVER TIME CAN HELP STUDENTS
INVESTIGATE AND MAP ECOSYSTEMS, WATER FLOW, AND ASSETS IN THEIR
COMMUNITY. BY THE END OF THIS WORKSHOP YOU’LL HAVE STRATEGIES TO USE
IN IDENTIFYING LOCAL ASSETS, MAPPING YOUR COMMUNITY, AND INCORPORATING
COMMUNITY MAPPING INTO YOUR CURRICULUM.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
* We strongly encourage participants to take our "Science in the
Schoolyard" workshop before this one. This workshop will also be
taking place in South King County and Pierce County.
* This workshop is intended for teachers and informal educators who
teach science to 2nd through 8th grade students. Other teachers are
welcome to join but may find the examples provided less relevant to
their classrooms.
* We encourage teachers to bring your grade level team.
* This workshop includes a $80 stipend for public school teachers
who complete related surveys. The stipend (with other stipends and
workshop fee refunds) will be mailed at the end of the school year.
* 4 STEM clock hours are available pending approval from the Puget
Sound ESD. Clock hours will need to be claimed and paid for on the ESD
website after the workshop is complete.
This program is funded by OSPI through its ClimeTime Grant.
