Sowing Seeds Workshop November 7, 2009
Royal Oak, Michigan 48067
The Sowing Seeds Workshop is designed to train educators to effectively teach critical thinking about social justice, environmental ethics, and animal protection, and thereby enhance their students' understanding that their choices make an impact on themselves, other people, other species, and the Earth. The workshop focuses on providing participants with a constructive approach for teaching about complex, controversial issues. Sowing Seeds offers participants dynamic activities and practical tips, demonstrations of the effectiveness of humane education, and an opportunity for group participation. The workshop is recommended for educators of all types – classroom teachers, community educators, concerned citizens and activists. The Power and Promise of Humane Education by Zoe Weil, the text for the course, is included in the registration fee and contains sample lesson plans that educators can incorporate into their programs and classes in age-appropriate and relevant ways.
