 In light of the current pandemic, we're shifting to the hybrid virtual course format. Wild Rose Education offering four educator summer workshops in partnership with Western Colorado University, The Wilderness Society, Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics, Colorado School of Mines Teacher Enhancement Program, and the Youth Water Leadership Program. Courses and workshops include:
*** These courses are not exactly 'at your own pace on your own'. There will be specific assignment deadlines, synchronous online meetings/classes, and lots of asynchronous on your activities/readings. We're going to wait to decide on the virtual meeting times to get input from registered participants so we can find a time that works best for most. We'll be starting with a virtual meeting on the first day of the course listed above at a specific time that has not yet been set. Thanks for your patience as we switch these courses from regular in-person field trip courses to hybrid virtual versions in light of Covid-19. Let me know what other questions you may have.  Wild Rose Education is thrilled to announce a partnership with The Wilderness Society to pilot and evaluate the effectiveness of the brand new Public Lands in the United States curriculum for learners 16 years and older. The interactive discussion based learning experiences builds stronger understanding of federal land designations, history of these lands, and the context in which these places were protected for participants. The curriculum aims to build connections between people and America’s public lands as well as awareness that the lands and waters we love today were once and still are Indigenous lands. The course also explores the many uses and benefits of public lands, as well as the threats they face locally and nationally. Read more from TWS. We will be creating evaluation tools, aligning the curriculum to national and Colorado social studies and literacy standards, and also the Guidelines for Excellence in Environmental Education. Contact us if you would like to schedule the curriculum with your community or student group.
