KAEE’s 48th Annual Conference | Forging Paths for Environmental Education: Community, Conversations, and Creativity
Title Sponsor: Morehead State University | Drs. Ernst and Sara Lane Volgenau College of Education
Land Acknowledgement Morehead State University and the surrounding area are located on the traditional lands of the Yuchee, Shawnee, and Eastern Band of Cherokee. Indigenous peoples have lived on the land we now call Kentucky for over 12,000 years. We want to acknowledge the deep history of this land and the people who still live here today. To learn more about this land and the land you call home, visit native-land.ca.
Each person is unique, as are their interests. However, the landscape of EE is dominated by science-based learning—a subject that doesn’t appeal to everyone. In this workshop, we will discuss the value of interdisciplinary studies in EE programming and practice (through case studies and provided mock lessons) incorporating not just science, but history, math, literacy, the arts, and physical/mental health and wellbeing. While this session will be geared primarily towards youth programming, there can be important take-aways for programs of any demographic. Participants are welcome to bring their own program guides and lesson plans as well.
