How do we learn during a pandemic?
Teachers and educators - what do you need?
A new school year has just begun and many teachers and students are anxious, wondering about what lies ahead of them for the year. With this school year being very different from any other, both teachers and students are slowly adjusting to this “new normal” of learning.
Raincoast has also had to adjust how we educate students, shifting from our transformative experiential and place-based learning to predominantly virtual, online engagement.
With the pilot Coastal Insights online learning series under our belt, we are now seeking to develop a new series that will continue to engage and inspire students with understanding different perspectives on contemporary stewardship and conservation in the Salish Sea.
In order to better respond to community needs we need your input. Teachers, parents, caregivers, and program providers, can you help us understand what you need most to help educate and engage students safely?
If you’re interested in getting more support with educating your class or student(s), please fill out a short survey (link below) to help Raincoast shape our next online learning series.
With our thanks.
You can help
Raincoast’s in-house scientists, collaborating graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and professors make us unique among conservation groups. We work with First Nations, academic institutions, government, and other NGOs to build support and inform decisions that protect aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, and the wildlife that depend on them. We conduct ethically applied, process-oriented, and hypothesis-driven research that has immediate and relevant utility for conservation deliberations and the collective body of scientific knowledge.
We investigate to understand coastal species and processes. We inform by bringing science to decision-makers and communities. We inspire action to protect wildlife and wildlife habitats.
