Nature Course for Elementary School Educators
Penn State Extension is offering a two-day course for elementary school teachers and other educators. The course, The Forest Resources Institute for Teachers (FRIT) - Town and Country Unit, provides 1st - 7th grade teachers the information and educational tools needed to teach a balanced environment and ecology curriculum related to Pennsylvania's renewable natural resources.
FRIT is a professional development opportunity for educators. It is organized through Penn State's School of Forest Resources, as a program of Penn State Extension. The course will acquaint educators with the rural and community forest resources of Pennsylvania, and ways to connect youth to the natural world. According to Sanford Smith, Extension Specialist, "We take pride in our summer course offerings and develop courses that are immediately helpful to teachers when they return to the classroom in the fall. This is a learning experience designed for: teaching professionals, pre-service education students, curriculum specialists, and educators from environmental centers and conservation districts." One PDE Credit / "IU Credit" and Non-credit registration options are available.
FRIT will be staged twice this year. First at Penn State University, University Park, PA (June 22-23, 2011) and the following week at the Penn State Extension Office in Allegheny County, Pittsburgh, PA (June 29-30, 2011).
