This is an online, on demand module. Registration is open now through February 18.

Participants must register by February 18 and complete the required work for the three modules by February 28. All activities can be completed independently.

Participants will explore the national award-winning Projects WILD, Aquatic WILD, and Learning Tree activity guides. All curriculum materials are backed by sound educational practices and theory, and represent the work of many professionals within the fields of education and natural resource management from across the country. Materials are aligned with NGSS and other Common Core standards. Upon completion of the required activities, participants will receive all three teaching guides.

Grant funds and support from the EE360 initiative has made it possible to offer the training and guides at a reduced cost. Participant cost is $35 for re-certification credit and $30 for three printed guides ($85 value). The PLT portion of the course is offered through their national online PLT course, so participants must also register and pay ($34.99) for that training.

Register through the Iowa AEA Professional Learning Registration system. One recertification credit is available to Iowa teachers. [If you do not have an account, you will need to create one.] Course link: LO – Projects WILD. Aquatic WILD and Learning Tree, Section Number: 309963
