Join Harris Center teacher-naturalists Jenna Spear, and Jaime Hutchinson for this fun and energizing professional development workshop for teachers of grades 3–8. This hands-on workshop will explore best practices for facilitating student-led inquiry and research in the schoolyard.

Together, we’ll walk through the process of exploring a schoolyard, raising questions about what we see, and identifying which of those questions can be answered through focused, firsthand observations. Then we’ll review activities for selecting a question, creating an investigation plan, and gathering and organizing data to share with others. Join us for this wintry exploration of nearby nature!

9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Harris Center. Cost: $120. Space is limited to 20 participants, and registration is required by January 23. For questions about the event, including accessibility, please contact Jenna Spear.
