The University of Nebraska-Lincoln cordially invites you to attend "Building Science Literacy through Engagement in Community and Environmental Stewardship," a Feb. 19 presentation from Dr. Rodger Bybee on science education initiatives that emphasize the effective management of food, water and natural resources. Bybee will introduce strategies for strengthening science literacy, improving PK-12 instruction, and enhancing family engagement in science learning among children and youth. Participatory spotlight sessions preceding the presentation will give attendees the opportunity to discuss informal science education, early childhood education, the role of rural family-school partnerships, and more.
As part of the Big Idea Seminar Series, this presentation is co-sponsored by the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources; Department of Child, Youth and Family Studies; College of Education and Human Sciences; Nebraska Center for Research on Children, Youth, Families and Schools; and UNL Extension.
More details will follow in the next week. We look forward to seeing you Feb. 19!
