Plumas County, California — The Forestry Institute for Teachers announces FIT-Focus, an immersive, three-day professional learning experience designed for both formal and informal educators from the preschool level to 12th grade and above. The program will be held from Oct. 17 – Oct. 19, in Meadow Valley. Program focuses on the tools, techniques and metrics that inform forest management, blending engaging, field-based instruction with real-world insights from subject-matter experts. “Whether you’re looking to deepen your content knowledge, explore new environmental education strategies or connect with like-minded educators, FIT-Focus provides the perfect setting — outdoors, in the forest,” says FIT. Participants receive access to environmental education curricula — Project Learning Tree Green Jobs, Our Forests, nature journaling — and focused pedagogy connecting field learning to Next Generation science standards, Common Core state standards and career technical education standards.
