PEDAGOGY & I believe that students learn better through first hand
experiences. Teaching students to appreciate and respect the world
around them is much more effective and enjoyable when they get to be out
there, seeing and doing science for themselves. HOST was wonderful. There are not a lot of
training opportunities for teachers, especially ones that are so
personalized and hands-on. Usually, professional development means
going over the standards, but we developed new hands-on skills like insect
collecting, stuffing study skins, plant pressing, stream sampling, GPS,
bat netting, bird banding. We also had exposure to other techniques
and enthusiastic HOST teachers. The NRS reserves are resources; they
are for teachers, too, not just for researchers. |
