Green Teacher magazine is excited to announce that we will be hosting up to 30 one hour, free webinars, from February through November. The webinars will take place on weekday evenings, starting at 7:30pm EST. Each will address a particular environmental education topic and feature one or more guest presenters. Two-thirds of the webinars will be aimed at formal classroom teachers. The remaining third will focus on learning strategies that are more useful for non-formal youth educators.
To ensure that the webinar topics meet the greatest needs of environmental educators, we are have created a short survey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/76KDMXX. Help us decide whether we should have a webinar on teaching young children about energy conservation, or one on leading youth groups on outdoor hikes – or both, or something entirely different!
The survey lists at least 20 themes, and asks you to pick those of greatest interest, as well as to indicate what age group you most work most often. It also allows you to suggest more specific topics, and to recommend one or more presenters that could address a topic well. And if you wish, you can also sign up to receive seasonal updates of the webinars we will be offering throughout 2011.
The survey will be available until February 9th and takes but five minutes to complete. All responses will be kept confidential.
I will be the host for the webinars, and am excited by the potential of the webinars to provide innovative ideas and learning strategies serve large numbers of youth educators.
I thank you in advance to any input you can provide.
Sincerely yours,
Tim Grant
