Kane County Institute Day 2025

Join EEAI to dig into PLT’s flagship curriculum Explore Your Environment: K-8 Activity Guide. This curriculum includes 50 hands-on, multidisciplinary activities to connect children to nature and increase young people’s awareness and knowledge about their environment. Activities include detailed step-by-step instructions, academic correlations, time and material requirements, and corresponding student worksheets with green career connections. This supplementary curriculum is designed to develop students’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The activities are practical, hands-on, and fun, and aligned with state and national academic standards, including the Next Generation Science Standards and Common Core State Standards. In addition, PLT connects with nonformal education programs. For example, PLT activities meet the requirements for Girl Scout Badges and Journeys.

*Participants will be given print curriculum in this session.
