Environmental education is used to teach students about ecological topics ranging from food webs to endangered species. How might these topics be taught differently along different age groups? In this webinar, we’ll learn how scaffolding is used to adapt the content, goals, and methods in environmental education along the spectrum of age, from birth through high school students. We’ll also discuss how understanding how to apply different educational methods for different age groups can help us better meet our agency’s mission of promoting stewardship within our audiences.

Presenter: Amber Schiltz, Nebraska Game & Parks Commission
