About this Event
Join the Bucks County Intermediate Unit and Heritage Conservancy for an exciting learning opportunity to explore the Meaningful Watershed Education Experience (MWEE).
The environment provides endless opportunities for authentic learning experiences that support your entire curriculum. When students learn through systemic and well-designed environmental education, they build background content knowledge to support literacy, experience authentic, hands-on learning that advances STEM and promotes career readiness.
Recognizing the complexities of implementing student-driven, authentic, and locally relevant environmental education that meets academic goals, we will explore the Meaningful Watershed Education Experience (MWEE). This well-established framework provides the structure and resources to support integrating environmental education in schools that aligns to PA STEELS standards, including the Environmental Literacy and Sustainability domain.
This workshop will include an outdoor field experience – participants should dress appropriately. The MWEE team will follow up with site-specific details prior to the workshop date.
Lunch will be provided. Six hours of ACT 48 credit available. This workshop is offered through the Bucks County IU in partnership with Heritage Conservancy, the PA DCNR, and Nockamixon State Park.
