Nature Revealed Teacher Workshop

This workshop is only for staff at Missouri S&T Child Development Center

Nature Revealed is the pre-kindergarten instructional unit in the Discover Nature Schools series from the Missouri Department of Conservation.

This is a professional development workshop. It consists of a presentation to introduce important facets of the unit:

  • organization of the teacher guide including cross-referenced appendices,
  • best practices in leading nature experiences in early childhood,
  • connections to learning goals,
  • seasonal arrangement of experiences,
  • construction and use of developmentally appropriate science notebooks,
  • prep and use of manipulatives including puzzles and story board characters.

We will head outdoors to sample activities that will help participants lead outdoor experiences with confidence. And we'll conclude with a discussion of specific methods to use Nature Revealed to meet the goals and objectives of the participants' early childhood centers, and presentation of the 375-page, full-color Nature Revealed instructional materials.

3.00 credits from Child Care Aware of Missouri for Early Childhood Clock Hours.
