WAEE Fall Conference 2010
Teachers, naturalists, educators and families will be converging on Upham Woods Outdoor Learning Center to learn, share, and network in October. Environmental education happens everywhere and as communities come together environmental education can be even stronger in Wisconsin and no one knows that better than our keynote speaker Joseph Cornell, founder of the Sharing Nature Foundation. The weekend will be focused on professional development and idea sharing about how you incorporate the environment into your classroom, your home, your nature center, and your community. Along with professional development there will be a family component where kids will have a chance to take part in environmental education. Please check back for a detailed list of presentations and weekend schedule.
October 28-30, 2010
