Workshop and Coaching Options

  • Getting Started With Journey North (full-day or multi-day workshops; hourly coaching)
    This workshop will prepare teachers to implement Journey North by using a sampling of activities from the three main studies: Sunlight and the Seasons (Mystery Class Project), Plants and the Seasons (Tulip Project) and Migrations and the Seasons (Monarch Project). It also introduces the instructional model and provides planning support for using Journey North to meet curriculum standards.
  • Custom Workshops (various lengths)
    Journey North can a provide custom-designed workshop (or a series) that meets local instructional goals and standards. You may choose to focus on one or more of Journey North's project themes (e.g., Monarch Migrations and Symbolic Monarchs), or request a session with a specific instructional focus (e.g., Journey North as a Central Curriculum Theme). We will work with you to design a unique session that meets your needs.
