SUMMARY:Teaching Global Climate Change in Your Classroom
DESCRIPTION:Follow National Geographic Explorers to the treetops of the rain forests\, the reefs of Mexico\, the glaciers of Iceland\, and the shores of the Chesapeake Bay as they find solutions to global climate change. Practice innovative ways to visualize the changing climate with your students as we all seek a planet in balance. \nDescription\nEarth’s global climate is changing\, bringing numerous changes to the planet and the organisms that live on it. Scientific instruments around the world show that our global temperature increased by over 1°C during the second half of the 20th century. Consequences of this observed warming include substantial melting of glaciers\, rising sea levels\, and increased risk of drought\, wildfires\, and plant and animal extinctions. \nThis online course integrates scientific content and pedagogical practices that are important for teaching global climate change at the middle school level. In particular\, this course will help you to: \n\nExamine your own understanding of global climate change and human impacts working through activities that connect to big climate change concepts\,\nModify existing activities and create new lessons about global climate change to incorporate into your own instruction\,\nDevelop a library of tools and resources that you can use to inform your future instructional design around climate change\,\nUse the NGSS science and engineering practices (constructing explanations and creating models) to develop your own and students’ understanding of the concepts\, and\nAnalyze student thinking about climate change through video cases.\n\nCredit validation is available for this course from the University of San Diego. This class runs October 2-November 20.

SUMMARY:Fall Nature Educator Orientation at Tryon Creek
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered what it looks like when a child gets to see a 100 year old tree for the first time?  What about the thrill of helping a student discover their role within the watershed?  Do you yearn to finally catch a glimpse of an owl while 10 sets of eyes excitedly follow your finger in the hopes of finding them too? Are you a lifelong learner with a passion for learning\, authentically welcoming diverse students\, and committing to personal growth?  If so\, you might be a Nature Educator!   Without you\, thousands of students each year would miss out on the opportunity to experience the forest firsthand through educational hikes\, activities\, and community learning experiences. \nThis fall\, Friends of Tryon Creek is offering a FREE 1-day orientation to our Field Trip program\, to be held on Tuesday\, September 24th from 10:00 to 2:00 at the Tryon Creek Nature Center (11321 SW Terwilliger Blvd\, Portland\, OR). Designed as a way to get new volunteers looped into our programs through the fall\, this orientation compliments our comprehensive spring training scheduled for late February/early March 2020.  During this 5-hour program\, volunteers will gain knowledge and tools needed to help them be a successful and positive leader and educator in the Tryon Creek field trip setting\, with the intention of recruiting enthusiastic and passionate people to become a part of our family of naturalists\, educators\, leaders\, and learners! \nSince 1970\, Friends of Tryon Creek (FOTC)\, in partnership with Oregon State Parks\, has worked to nurture relationships with nature and connect people to Tryon Creek\, Oregon’s only urban state natural area. Our field trip program relies heavily on volunteer Nature Guide support to lead groups of 5 to 10 students on 2-hour field trips as they explore our unique forest\, learning about the natural and cultural history of this region.  Nature Guides enjoy a strong community and plenty of support – checkout FOTC’s Nature Guide Resource Page to learn more! \nFriends of Tryon Creek is committed to acknowledging social justice\, identity\, and power structures in past and present settings through diverse perspectives. For us\, this means all programs employ an equity framework\, incorporating diversity trainings and workshops throughout our extended community\, including board\, staff and volunteer base. We seek to support our whole community in their effort to reclaim\, reconnect and build relationships with the natural world. Our commitment is built and sustained through authentic partnerships with communities of color\, culturally-specific organizations\, and other historically under-represented groups.  \nOur field trip program serves approximately 4\,200 Preschool through 5th grade students each year\, plus roughly 200 teachers and 700 volunteer chaperones from all across the Portland-Metro area.  Friends of Tryon Creek recognizes the diversity of races\, cultures\, backgrounds\, and experiences of our whole community must be represented in our volunteer base in order to welcome and inspire all visitors\, and strive to create safe spaces for people of color as well as folks who are LBGTQ\, multilingual\, first-generation\, or from other traditionally marginalized communities to join us in our efforts to reclaim\, reconnect\, and build authentic relationships with nature. \nWe welcome all ages\, backgrounds\, and experience levels\, asking only that you are ready to support us in our journey towards equitable opportunities for all\, that you can pass a background check\, and (ideally) are available to volunteer at least once a month (weekday mornings) during the field trip season\, which runs throughout the school year\, October through May. Register for our training today to join a robust community of like-minded volunteers who enjoy a variety of skill-building and social events throughout the year\, building relationships that last a lifetime. We look forward to being a part of your journey as a vital connection between kids and the natural world\, and thank you for your interest in this important mission! \nPre-registration is required – please contact FOTC Field Trip Coordinator Erin Cathcart: 503.636.4398 (ext. 105) or erin@tryonfriends.org.

SUMMARY:Drinking from the Well: The Sacred Work of Grief
DESCRIPTION:Grief enters our lives through many gateways\, including the death of loved ones\, relationship endings\, intractable conflicts\, chronic illness\, cultural loss\, ancestral trauma\, major life transitions\, or from the overwhelming concerns and social injustice and ecological collapse in our devastated world. Throughout time many traditional cultures have understood the healing and transformative power of grieving in ceremony and within community as a sacred way to honor\, metabolize\, and transmute the energy of grief.​ Sharing our sorrows in a healing circle of deep remembrance\, praise\, mourning\, and celebration of life strengthens our capacity to respond to the challenges of our lives and our world with courage\, compassion\, and wisdom. \nThis daylong event is inspired by the traditional grief rituals of the Dagara tribe of Burkina Faso brought to the West by Sobonfu Somé\, the ancient cross-cultural tradition of lamentation\, and the work and teachings of Francis Weller\, Michael Meade\, Martin Prechtel\, and Joanna Macy. Through the original technologies of ritual\, rhythm\, movement\, storytelling\, poetry\, and song\, we will co-create a brave\, alchemical container to travel deeply into the dark river of grief\, welcome all our emotions\, and open to the mystery of transformation. Metabolizing our grief into gifts of beauty enables us to cultivate the clarity\, vitality\, and resilience that we need to be present to ourselves\, with each other\, and for our world in these turbulent times.
