Whether you teach writing or science, or work with elementary or high school students, birds can be a powerful jumping off point for classroom lessons. Join us as we dive into the world of birds, providing educators with the skills, knowledge, and resources needed to integrate birds into classroom lessons. Learn about basic bird biology, build observation skills through the lens of bird watching, and learn how to integrate avian citizen science into your classroom. Educators will leave this workshop with a new understanding of bird ecology, as well as how to integrate birds into classroom learning. Participants will leave with lesson plans, activities, and additional resources to support classroom implementation.
