Site Summit Banner - Prairie Crossing

Join the Green Schools National Network and Prairie Crossing Charter School, a Best of Green Schools award recipient and Green Ribbon School, for a transformative 1.5-day professional learning workshop focused on empowering Natural Leaders and Change Makers through place-based learning. Learn from seasoned educators and leaders dedicated to integrating sustainability into project-based learning for 25 years.

This workshop will provide you with concrete examples of high-quality place-based learning and engage you in critically examining teaching practices as powerful tools for continuous improvement. You’ll gain insights through direct experiences with teachers, students, and leaders, leaving with a robust understanding of:

  • The importance of a shared vision as the foundation for fostering a culture that shapes a sustainable and equitable future for all students and their families.
  • How to utilize content standards to develop a skills-rich, interdisciplinary education focused on sustainability that leverages phenomena, place, project-based, and problem-based learning to help students discover purpose in their learning.
  • Key measures and indicators to effectively assess the impact of your educational initiatives.

Join us for an inspiring opportunity to deepen your knowledge and enhance your teaching practices!
