Participants will be invited to research and identify a climate-related issue affecting a local habitat then explore potential avenues for student design projects.

Want to teach climate change ecology with confidence and compassion? Join us for an interactive workshop that explores the potential of the new “Project Wild: Climate and Wildlife” guide. During the workshop, we will explore the social-emotional ramifications of climate change education and share recommendations to help young people cope with environmental change. Then, we will highlight selected activities from the new guide and suggest modifications to the lessons which will help Oregon students cultivate personal agency and social trust. Finally, we will generate a resource list of agencies, land managers and other prospective partners who can support your students in service learning and participatory community science activities.

In this interactive workshop, participants will discover how to use the SB13 (Tribal History/Shared History) Critical Orientations framework to infuse Indigenous cultures and perspectives into Project Learning Tree (PLT) activities. Using waste management and sustainability practices as the context, participants will learn how to adapt a PLT lesson to be culturally responsive, relevant, and affirming. Participants will receive Project Learning Tree’s (PLT) Explore Your Environment: K-8 Activity Guide. The workshop features a guest speaker from the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde.

Join us at the Southern Oregon Land Conservancy’s Rogue River Preserve (about 15 miles north of Medford) to experience and explore nature journaling, a flexible, engaging, and adaptable teaching tool that helps students develop both scientific (NGSS) and social-emotional competencies. Along the trail, we will stop to practice close observation, inquiry, and connection-building using a series of nature journaling prompts. We will also practice giving feedback on journal entries to promote a growth mindset, model outdoor facilitation strategies, and discuss how to incorporate nature journaling in any learning context.
