[YEP-DC] PAID PD Opportunity for DCPS Teachers This Fall

Hello All -- 

My nonprofit, EarthEcho International is offering a PAID professional development opportunity for DCPS Educators this fall. 

Saturday, September 12, 2015, 9:30 am - 4:00 pm

DC Public Schools Main Office, 1200 1st St. NE, 10th Floor

Join EarthEcho International staff in an interactive forum for middle and high school educators. This 6-hour workshop explores best practices for project based learning focusing on the Chesapeake Bay Watershed as participants:

• use EarthEcho's dynamic curricula to engage students in a project based learning process around local water quality issues;
• address NGSS Science and Engineering practices, specifically constructing explanations and designing solutions, engaging in arguments from evidence, and obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information;
• gain knowledge, skills and free resources – videos, lessons, and Action Guides – to make science more relevant and action-oriented for students through service learning; 
• and more!

About EarthEcho International

EarthEcho International's mission is to inspire young people worldwide to act now for a sustainable future.  We are a nonprofit 501c3 organization founded in 2000 by siblings Philippe and Alexandra Cousteau in honor of their father Philippe Cousteau Sr., son of the legendary explorer Jacques Yves Cousteau.  Philippe Sr.'s belief in "a world where every single child can breathe fresh air, drink clean water, and walk on green grass under a blue sky" serves as our vision to this day.

Our approach is simple; EarthEcho's 21st century tools and interactive resources equip youth to identify and solve environmental challenges starting in their own communities. 

Please contact me (education@earthecho.org) if you have any questions, and pass this along to any interested DCPS educators you may know!
