If you work with middle school audiences and are interested in helping students understand the
importance of migratory birds and their conservation through classroom activities and school bird
festivals then attending this workshop would be a feather in your cap.
Why a workshop on birds? With a presence in urban areas, diversity of form, spectacular
coloration and amazing abilities of flight, birds are a great hook for promoting students interest
in learning about the environment.
Learn about teacher led classroom activities, volunteer & student led festival activities, and
service learning projects. The material you glean will help students lead hands-on experiments,
create educational exhibits, stage performances, and accomplish bird conservation projects.
Topics to be explored may include diversity & adaptation of organisms, habitat issues, scientific
inquiry, migration, cultural connections, identification, monitoring, conservation needs, and role of
birds in maintaining ecosystems.
This workshop will be a fun filled, interactive, hands-on experience in conducting activities and
implementing the Flying WILD (www.flyingwild.org) program while also learning how to become a
City Partner.
Cost of workshop is $15 (includes light refreshments, Flying WILD curriculum guide, & supporting
material). Please bring lunch, mug, and clothing for indoor & outdoor activities.
