NYS Summer CE – Great Value in Hyde Park 7/28-31
June 10, 2009 — Lynne M Bailey
These summer sessions take place at the FDR National Park Historic Site in Hyde Park. New for this year there is a day of Field Trips, one of which is in and around Yonkers, and another in nearby Rockland County. The cost for all three days is as low as $85. I went last year, and really enjoyed the conference, met great people, and learned a lot of interesting things that I was able to use in my teacher workshops.
I will be going back this year too, and I’ve chosen to go to the Norrie Point Environment Center for the Day 2 Field Trip on July 29. The Summer Institute runs from 7/28-7/31/09.
“THV’s annual summer institutes are rare opportunities for K-12 teachers, museum staff, environmental educators, and anyone interested in Hudson Valley arts, environment, and history. Learn about the region and place-based education with scholars, teachers, scientists, and each other. Choose from a range of interdisciplinary sessions including hands-on workshops, panel discussions, field trips, and more formal presentations.
This year we focus on two broad themes. First, how schools and informal learning sites can work together whether or not there is money for field trips. And, second, using inquiry-based learning to connect schools and informal sites in new ways. ”
