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.
Registration deadline is September 11, 2016 - you must register
electronically (Activity #: 22007499991701). Registration fee: $175 (3 license
renewal credits); $395.00 (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.
