SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: Social Studies + Environmental Literacy
DESCRIPTION:Interested in connecting the dots between outdoor learning\, environmental literacy\, and social studies? Want to gain a better understanding of what meaningful watershed educational experiences might look like on school grounds? Hoping to connect with others who are doing work in this space\, too? If so\, join us for this three part virtual lunch and learn series to explore these topics\, and more! \nThis is a three part series organized by the DC Environmental Education Consortium\, with support from the DC Office of the State Superintendent of Education and Earth Force. \nIn the second session\, Madison Kantzer\, instructional systems specialist for social studies\, and Grace Manubay\, environmental literacy coordinator\, at the Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) will provide an overview of the new social studies standards that were adopted in 2023 and share how the Environmental Literacy Framework will be updated to incorporate these new standards. Earth Force will also cover the curricular supports being created for release in the summer of 2025\, which will show how environmental literacy is being woven into the 6th-grade world geography curriculum. Feedback is welcomed and partners will be identified to help support the alignment of environmental literacy and social studies that is written into the curriculum! Prior to the session\, participants are encouraged to review the social studies standards. \nRecommended audience: anyone who works directly with students or plans student programming. \nRegister here. \n  \n  \nAbout the organizers: \n\nThe Environmental Education Networking Committee of the DC Environmental Education Consortium (DCEEC) taps the District’s environmental education expertise to enrich the DCEEC community with professional development opportunities\, such as Lunch and Learns\, listening sessions\, field outings\, and trainings.\nA collaboration between its environmental literacy and school garden programs\, the Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) hosts Outdoor Learning Gatherings for educators seeking resources and inspiration to engage students in activities that benefit from being outdoors and in nature.\nA leader in environmental action civics\, Earth Force received a NOAA Chesapeake Bay Watershed Education and Training grant to embed environmental literacy in social studies through the integration of a MWEE into the forthcoming sixth grade DC Public Schools (DCPS) social studies curriculum.
