How does BirdSleuth conform to my state education standards?
BirdSleuth will meet many science inquiry standards. Because it is driven by inquiry, the content standards you can teach through the modules are quite broad: habitat, adaptations, life cycles, diversity, to name a few. It is also useful in teaching math and technology in an authentic context. Currently, we’re working on a section of the website that will include state-by-state information on specific standards. If you’re a BirdSleuth educator interested in helping us compile information about the standards from your state, email Jennifer Fee at jms327@cornell.edu to get started! I’m interested in expanding BirdSleuth in my classroom or district through habitat improvements, a teacher professional development workshop, or classroom sponsorship. Where can I find funding and educational grants to help? While every community is different, there are a number of outlets to turn to for grant money to finance BirdSleuth workshops, or even find classroom sponsors! Click here for more informati
