Flying WILD is a bird-focused curriculum targeted for grades 5-8 and created by the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies. The Flying WILD Curriculum is easy to use, works indoors or outdoors, correlates to educational standards, and develops students’ conceptual skills such as analysis, classification, description, estimation, evaluation, inference, hypothesis formation, and problem solving.

Although targeted for grades 5-8, this curriculum is easily adapted to other grade levels. We invite classroom teachers, pre-service teachers, non-formal educators, and children/youth leaders (scouts, 4H, etc.) to participate in this workshop.

Come prepared to spend time both outdoors and indoors. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes, bring water, sunscreen, and any other necessary items.  

The workshop duration is typically between 3 to 4 hours. You will participate in 4 activity demonstrations.

This is a FREE workshop! Educators will receive training, a guidebook, a certificate, and the chance to instill wildlife conservation values related to birds and their habitats.
