Moss Workshop at the New York Botanical Garden
Join us at the New York Botanical Garden on June 16 to learn about the fascinating world of mosses! Participants will learn how these minute plants can be an amazing resource to help students discover the diversity of life on Earth, the result of adaptation, survival and change over time. Learn about plant diversity using observation, basic identification techniques, microscopy and field investigations. Educators will be provided pertinent background information, cross-curriculum lessons and a classroom terrarium.
Lincoln Center Institute International Educator Workshop
The Lincoln Center Institute (LCI) offers a workshop that helps educators develop their students' imagination, creativity and innovation. This five-day professional development workshop is an introductory-level immersion in LCI's experiential, inquiry-based approach to imaginative learning through aesthetic education. Any pre-K through grade 12 teacher, school administrator, teaching artist, curriculum developer or professor may attend.
Workshops will take place July 9-13 and July 16-20, 2012 in New York City and on other dates at host sites around the country. Participants will earn three in-service p credits for attending.
The workshop costs $550 per session ($525 tuition fee, plus a non-refundable $25 registration fee; a $25 late fee applies after June 25). Visit the Lincoln Center Institute's Workshops & Courses website for more information and for a complete listing of host sites and dates.
Summer learning opportunities at the New York Public Library
Take an education vacation by signing up for one of three learning opportunities for teachers at the New York Public Library.
Renowned scholars and writers will be offering week-long workshops on their areas of expertise: Black Bohemia: Poetry, Painting, and Jazz on the Lower East Side, July 16 to 20; Writing Food: A Workshop in Creative Non-fiction, July 23 to 27; and Liberating Constraints: A Creative Writing Workshop, July 30 to Aug. 3.
The Teaching & Learning Summer Seminar: 100 years of NYPL: America Then and Now, July 9 to 14, will delve deeply into the library’s collections to illustrate how primary resources narrate the story of the early twentieth century in order for teachers to be able to lead their students to draw conclusions and comparisons to today.
In late July, teachers will investigate the ways artists and writers respond to varying demands of audience, task, and purpose at the NYPL and the Metropolitan Museum of Art Online — Onsite K-12 Educator Institute: Art and Writing, supporting visual and language arts instruction.
