Methods of Teaching Environmental Education Online Workshop (MOTEE)

Methods of Teaching Environmental Education (MOTEE) is a 10-hour workshop designed to help practitioners create inclusive and age-appropriate learning experiences, gain group management skills, practice teaching methods to promote inquiry, and gain skills in designing objectives, lessons, and assessments for EE programs using NC Essential Standards as a foundation.

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

• Diversity of Learners

• Creating the Learning Environment

• Teaching Methods

• Developmentally Appropriate Practice

• Assessment

• North Carolina Essential Standards

 This course will be a combination of independent online work and required group calls.  We will be using an online platform called Moodle for independent work and Zoom for the calls (video and call-in options). Live calls will consist of breakout rooms/peer teaching, slideshow presentation, and the use of shared documents platforms like Jamboard and Google Slides.Format:
