Discover the Flyway - Teacher Workshop
The Discover the Flyway one-day workshop is geared for teachers (K-12) interested in providing a learning resource for their students that aids in appreciation and understanding of the natural world. The program is a great way to motivate students in science and provides a thematic approach integrating reading and writing with wildlife, science, and natural resources conservation. The workshops will familiarize teachers with wetland habitats in the context of the Yolo Wildlife Area and provide suggestions and lessons for hands-on learning activities for use in both the classroom and outdoors. Tied to the state teaching standards for science, activities focus on the Yolo Wildlife Area and Demonstration Wetlands as an outdoor classroom. Teachers are encouraged to bring their students to the Wildlife Area for field trips supported by Yolo Basin Foundation staff. Pre-registration is required. Cost is $25 and includes a continental breakfast, lunch, materials and transportation to the Yolo Wildlife Area. To register for the workshop please call (530) 758-1018 and leave your name, address and phone number. We will send you a registration form. Or you may download a PDF version. You may also e-mail or fax your request with your address to: cquirk@yolobasin.org or (530) 757-4824 (fax). Workshop capacity is limited, so please call today.
