AIC now has an active K-12 Education Working Group engaged in compiling information and resources on conservation, for use by educators as well as by conservation professionals who work with K-12 students. The information is hosted on the AIC website’s K-12 Education page at www.conservation-us.org/k12.
Many of you are already involved in outreach or education efforts or have expressed your interest in becoming involved. We are now asking for the help of all AIC members to develop this page into a meaningful, rich resource that accurately reflects the diversity of our field and our membership. To this end, we’ve developed a short (really!) survey through which you can:
– agree to work with educators or other interested individuals in your area
– share links or websites you find particularly interesting or useful for educating students
– share materials you have developed – lectures, workshops, activities, powerpoints etc. – for use with students
– contribute any other ideas you may have for AIC’s K-12 Education Outreach efforts
Click here to go to the survey.
Note that your contact information will never be made publicly available on the website; interested educators will email the Working Group with their queries, and we will then match them with conservators in their area who have agreed to be contacted.
Please feel free to email the Working Group with any questions or problems with the survey at k-12@conservation-us.org. Thank you for your time and participation! We look forward to expanding AIC’s Educational Outreach offerings with your help.
