The goal of this course is to help you utilize a STEM-based
approach that incorporates local natural resources as unifying themes to
implement Iowa Core concepts in your curriculum. You will work in small groups
and individually to create a network of contacts and resources to teach natural
resource concepts. Group and individual assignments will build on each other
throughout the course.
Participants will build a project-based learning unit for
their personal teaching situation, so you can immediately incorporate the
course resources and tactics into your teaching. It is offered for 3 license
renewal or graduate credits, and also qualifies for credit for the STEM
endorsement through Drake and Grandview.
Registration deadline is September 11, 2016 - you must register electronically (Activity #: 22007499991701). Registration fee: $175 (materials,
3 license renewal credits); $395.00 (materials, 3 Drake graduate credits). This
course is being offered by AEA PD Online, a joint initiative by all of Iowa's
Area Education Agencies. This course therefore uses AEA PD Online's alternative
fee schedule for license renewal and graduate credit. Transcripts and credit
will be issued by AEA PD Online instead of Heartland AEA.
