Workshop Title: "Methods for Teaching Environmental Education" Workshop Purpose: To prepare participants with a variety of educational backgrounds and experience in both the formal and non-formal sectors to use exemplary EE teaching methods that address specific learning styles that are integrated with the NC Standard Course of Study, NAAEE Guidelines for Excellence, and North Carolina Environmental Education Certification Program. General Description: Through this workshop, we will both demonstrate and teach participants about a variety of teaching techniques, including short presentations, audiovisuals, discussion, role play, Socratic inquiry, facilitation, simulation games, initiatives, demonstration, and teachable moments.
