Inquiry Based Outdoor Learning: Using BEETLES in NC Workshop

This workshop has been rescheduled from September 27 to November 22!

The BEETLES (Better Environmental Education, Teaching, Learning, and Expertise Sharing) learning sessions are active experiences crafted to encourage instructors to look at specific aspects of research-based science pedagogy and to inspire shifts in instructors’ thinking about their own teaching and learning. Developed by the Lawrence Hall of Science, these hands-on and interactive sessions promote a student-centered approach to help participants better engage with science and the natural world through inquiry.  This workshop will focus on Questioning Strategies and Assessing for Learning.

This workshop is for educators (formal, nonformal, and higher education) who want to:

• Analyze the impact of questions on student thinking and behavior, and use this information to make thoughtful decisions about when to use different types of questions in instruction. (Questioning Strategies)

• Experience a variety of assessment strategies for field instruction and discuss how to choose the best type of assessment for different purposes that support student learning and improve instruction. (Assessing for Learning)

• Explore best practices for planning and implementing EE programs that foster learning and promote inclusivity.
