Join other WILD and PLT educators and returning facilitators in this 3 day immersion into all of the nature education curriculum guides the state coordinators have to offer (current facilitators first two days only to maintain certification as a facilitator, unless you've run a workshop in the last two years). In addition to going through the guides thoroughly, you will be trained in best practices for facilitating a workshop. This includes how to handle diisruptions and how to keep your audience engaged. Become a leader in your region of the state by becoming a certified facilitator in BOTH of the world's leading environmental education curriculum. You will leave the training certified to plan, host and facilitate workshops---enabling you to attract new audiences to your facility---or to train the other teachers in your school district!
