Description: This one-day workshop will feature instructional tools from the BEETLES Project (beetlesproject.org) that will equip Natural Resource and STEM professionals with the skills and self-efficacy to facilitate equitable and engaging lessons with youth at educational outreach events, including outdoor school. The workshop will focus on how people learn as well as observation and questioning strategies to engage students. Participants will engage in student activities and leave with resources for developing their own lesson plans. This workshop will be interactive and provide time to get to know other natural resource professionals who teach youth throughout eastern Oregon.  We especially encourage professionals who participate in outdoor school or are interested in participating in outdoor school to join us for the workshop.
