In fall of 2024, we launched “ecotone,” The Center for Environmental Learning’s free, virtual networking and professional learning platform. We have an exciting schedule of free and paid virtual events planned for 2025. Join ecotone to stay up to date with our offerings and to RSVP to events!
Our Pilot Professional Learning Course
We are inviting 5 organizations to participate in our inaugural ecotone course: Building and Implementing a Professional Learning System. Through this course, teams of up to 3 people per organization will create professional learning plans that identify goals, resources, and actions for professional learning at their organizations. This course will also provide the tools and resources to support leaders to revise and update their plans, as their staff changes and grows.
This pilot course is being offered at a reduced rate! Click here to learn more (INSERT LINK HERE).
Our BEETLES on ecotone workshops are 3 hour sessions of interactive and collaborative group learning. These workshops are paid courses, with opportunities for group discount rates. Reach out to us at environmentallearning@berkeley.edu to learn more! Registration links are shared on ecotone several weeks before each workshop date.Questioning Strategies – Wednesday, March 19th at 10:30 AM PSTField Journaling with Learners – Wednesday, September 24th at 10:30 AM PSTMaking Observations – Friday, December 5th at 10:00 AM PST
