SUMMARY:Education for Community Resilience
DESCRIPTION:When: Tuesday\, February 11 and Wednesday\, February 12\, 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. each day.Where: Stroud Water Research Center\, 970 Spencer Rd.\, Avondale\, PA (map below)Audience: Non-formal educatorsCost: FREE; registration is required. Catered lunch provided both days of the workshop. \n\n\n\nAre you a non-formal educator hoping to better prepare and strengthen our communities in the face of climate change? Join NOAA\, Stroud Water Research Center\, DCNR – Pennsylvania State Parks\, regional science and policy leaders\, and fellow educators for a collaborative 2-day learning opportunity designed to explore some of the science\, policy and social/environmental justice aspects of resilience. \n\n\n\nTogether\, we will consider how resilience is and can be integrated within education programming to enable communities to make informed decisions and reduce their vulnerability to environmental hazards and stresses. During this workshop we will: \n\n\n\nDevelop awareness/understanding of the variety of ways in which we define/discuss resilience (what do we mean by resilience in different contexts – what is the resilience landscape?)Develop an understanding of existing regional science and how it supports resilient communities and ecosystemsDevelop awareness of regional resiliency efforts – actions being taken and ways to connect to/celebrate those actionsDiscuss and learn about models of how resilience fits within education programming (existing or new) and identify ways we can connect to regional resiliency effortsDevelop capacity to integrate programming related to and supportive of community resiliencyConsider education’s role as a key driver in student\, teacher\, and public understanding of resiliency\n\n\n\nFor information about the related Meaningful Watershed Educational Experience (MWEE) model please explore this online course.

SUMMARY:Advanced Watershed Educator Workshop for Non-Formal Educators
DESCRIPTION:When: Tuesday\, August 27\, and Wednesday\, August 28\, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day.Where: Dauphin County Agriculture & Natural Resources Center\, Dauphin\, PA (map below)Audience: Environmental educators (non-formal\, informal\, field-based\, naturalists)Cost: FREE! Includes a catered lunch\, snacks\, and refreshments. Act 48 hours will be provided by DCNR-PA State Parks. \n\n\n\nWe all rely on the services provided by our natural world to survive and thrive — and we can all play a role in supporting a healthy and vibrant ecosystem. More than 1\,740\,000 students live and learn in Pennsylvania and the future well-being of our watersheds will soon rest in their hands. \n\n\n\nStakeholders across Pennsylvania are working to support students to graduate with the knowledge and skills to protect and restore their local watershed through the participation in Meaningful Watershed Educational Experiences (MWEE). MWEEs are learner-centered experiences that focus on investigations into local environmental issues that lead to informed action and civic engagement. \n\n\n\nMWEEs depend on the facilitation and support of both school and non-formal\, field-based educators for the experiences to be holistic and impactful. This workshop will help prepare non-formal environmental education providers to partner with K-12 classroom teachers on an MWEE. \n\n\n\nThis workshop has been designed to provide a deep understanding of the MWEE as a vehicle for advancing environmental literacy and stewardship while increasing standards-based student achievement. \n\n\n\nBonus! The workshop will be paired with an optional second day focused on enhancing your hands-on water education skills. You’ll learn about stormwater and agriculture best management practices and drinking-water chemistry. \n\n\n\n\nFunding made possible through generous B-WET grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA Grant #NA17NMF4570274).\n\n\n\nThese workshops will be facilitated by trainers from Stroud Water Research Center\, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation\, DCNR-Bureau of Pennsylvania State Parks\, Penn State Extension\, and Millersville University.
