The NASA Educator Professional Development Collaborative at
Texas State University is providing a 1-hour webinar.

 
Join University of Colorado Boulder curriculum developer and GLOBE partner Jon Griffith as he guides participants through “The Future of Forests”, a 10-lesson MS/HS curriculum connected to NGSS life science standards that uses NASA resources to explore patterns of post-fire recovery (or lack thereof) across the west. Through engaging online interactives and numerous case studies, students gather evidence to construct conceptual models to explain the unit driving question, "How do landscapes recover after a wildfire? Participants will leave the workshop with the tools/strategies to implement this NASA-funded curriculum in their own classrooms!
