EdGEO Teacher Workshop and Field Trip

The Canadian Geoscience Education Network (CGEN) presents the Winnipeg 2013 EdGEO Teacher Workshop. It is designed to help grades four and seven teachers from across Manitoba to meet the specific learning outcomes of the science curriculum. Professional Earth science educators from across Canada will deliver this program using "hands-on" activities and sharing their ideas and approaches to Earth science education. Teachers will receive instruction linked to lesson plans, classroom activities and a resource package that can be used to deliver workshop activities in their classroom. The Winnipeg 2013 EdGEO Teacher Workshop received generous financial support from the Canadian Geological Foundation and EdGEO, the Canadian Earth Science Teacher Workshop Program.

EdGEO Teacher Workshop
Date and time: Friday, May 24th, 8:30 a.m. to 3:45 p.m.
Location: Millennium Suite, Second Floor, Winnipeg Convention Centre

Teachers will have the opportunity to explore the geology of southern Manitoba with professional Earth science educators. We will go back in time to examine and discuss the evolution of Manitoba's landscape by visiting areas shaped by inland seas and continental glaciers during periods of climatic warming and cooling.
