PLT’s new online workshop consists of 5 self-paced online coursels (each a 20–30-minute learning experience) with simulations and videos that model PLT’s early childhood activities, along with accompanying planning worksheets that provide guidance and support for you to try out PLT activities with children in your context.
What’s Included
This professional development experience will teach you how to use PLT’s materials effectively in your own educational setting and how to access many additional resources.
The course includes:
- An electronic copy of PLT’s Environmental Experiences for Early Childhood activity guide and music.
- Access to a self-paced online workshop (approximately 3 hours).
The Environmental Experiences for Early Childhood e-guide contains over
130 experiences that engage children ages 3 to 6 in outdoor exploration and
play, and downloadable music files that encourage children to sing, dance, and
move. A print version of the guide and music CD are available for an additional
fee. Topics include exploring nature with five senses, meeting neighborhood
trees, and experiencing trees through the seasons.
The
workshop can be completed during your own time, wherever you are, as long as
you have internet access. It provides useful links to online resources,
state-specific resources, and 5 coursels which are 20–30-minute self-paced
learning experiences that make up the larger course. Exercises and worksheets will help you plan and facilitate
group experiences with early learners, and design environmental experiences
that maximize their use of 6 types of Learning Centers found in your Environmental
Experiences for Early Childhood activity guide.
