Environmental Service:
Bring Learning to Life
Professional Development Focus:
Young people from coast to coast are restoring riparian buffers, eradicating invasive species, and revitalizing brownfields. And in so doing they’re making important connections between what they learn and how they live. These are all important successes and we should all be proud of what has been accomplished. Yet chances are, most of these efforts are not authentic service-learning … in spite of the “service-learning” label that is often attached to them.
Jerry has spent nearly 15 years as an inspiring trainer, astute commentator, and persuasive lobbyist for the advancement of youth civic engagement. He recently served as vice president of Earth Force, one of the nation’s leading environmental service-learning organizations.
Field Trips: Following our on-site conference happenings, Saturday afternoon presents a perfect time for exploring educational sites in and around Pocatello. Field trip sites include the Idaho Museum of Natural History and the Pocatello Community Charter School. Additional field trips are being developed.
Share Fair: Organizations providing environmental education will display their wares during a social hour. Also on hand will be examples of service-learning and project-based student work, in a setting similar to a science fair.
Presentations: Highlighting educationally sound, useable, and often Idaho-specific resources.
