Earthwatch Educator Expeditions
Educators are helping Earthwatch to channel in-field learning directly into the classroom - inspiring in their students a vital commitment to a sustainable environment.
Do you want to inform and inspire your teaching and help your students to become the environmental stewards of tomorrow? If you are a higher education lecturer, youth leader or secondary school teacher (or studying to become one), communicating environmental issues to young people and/or teaching the sciences, geography or citizenship in the UK then you are eligible to apply for funded places on Earthwatch Educator Expeditions.
Participation on Earthwatch Educator Expeditions provides a unique, experiential learning experience, will put you in touch with important conservation research in the field, and increase your environmental knowledge inspiring you with new ideas to take back to the classroom.
On an Earthwatch Educator Expedition, you will join a facilitated team of educators and Earthwatch project research staff, participate in scientific research activities and facilitated sessions. You will assist in the collection of valuable data, share ideas with other like-minded educators and benefit from an experience which helps inform and inspire your teaching. Expeditions are challenging in many different ways and a fantastic continuing professional development opportunity.
