Abstract for the conference program
Teacher preparation for Early Childhood Education majors in ISCI 2001 focuses on concepts in life and earth sciences modeled after the K-5 Georgia Performance Standards. Utilizing examples from Georgia is not explicitly encouraged as a pedagogical approach in the EPAAC recommendations for this course; however, use of place-based education may offer increased engagement by students, improved retention of underrepresented groups in STEM, and enhanced comprehension of material as it pertains to the world around them. Techniques founded in place are varied and not necessarily restricted to experiences beyond the classroom. This workshop will allow participants to explore activities that use place as a central framework for weaving content across life and earth sciences by building upon knowledge of local settings in Georgia. Ongoing work will examine the effectiveness of this approach in ISCI 2001 at Georgia State University.
