The Home on the Range workshops have been presented to over 1,000 elementary school teachers reaching a minimum of 22,000 students per year in all 20 regions of the state of Texas. These workshops are based on Rangelands: A Conservation Education Guide, created for Welder Wildlife Foundation by Dr. Sandra Johnson, an experienced educator, and Jaime Winans, a Wildlife Biologist. Come take part in a workshop to help you learn what teachers and students need and how to meet those needs. Participate in activities including models, games, role-playing, and field activities that demonstrate best practices in education and proven ways to engage and teach both teachers and students about many aspects of rangelands. Activities include Small Scale Rangelands, My Home, My Habitat, Grazers and Browsers, Grow, Grass Grow!, and other activities focused on rangelands. Activities fulfill Texas state curriculum requirements including concepts such as habitat, adaptations, structures and functions, interactions in an ecosystem, and more.
