Educator Workshop at the Natural History Museum

Join HawkWatch International and NHMU for an exciting educator workshop. Birding is experiencing a surge in popularity, especially among young people, and for good reason! Birds are the most accessible wildlife since they live everywhere, including amongst humans. Every student can find a bird in their community (even if it’s a Pigeon or a Starling), and the longer people look, the more birds they find. Birds are a natural source of phenomena students can use to engage with science practices and cross-cutting concepts. In this workshop, we’ll go over some birding basics and then discuss how birding easily lends itself to teaching disciplinary core ideas from the SEEd Standards for any grade. All educators will leave with hands-on lesson plans for their classes and 2 hours of relicensure credit.

This workshop is open to all Utah public school teachers and educators.
