Explore Purdue Extension’s The Nature of Teaching curriculum, which includes formal standards-based lessons and informal activity-based lessons around nature and natural resources. The curricula include three signature programs: Wildlife, Health and Wellness, and Food Waste. Workshop participants will not only learn about The Nature of Teaching, but act out several of the activities, network and collaborate with other educators, and walk away with a folder of resources to use in their programs. Registration is required as space is limited. For more information about The Nature of Teaching, visit https://ag.purdue.edu/extension/nature/Pages/default.aspx
