The curriculum was produced by the International Wolf Center, and is being released online in conjunction with the University of California Berkley. Teachers are invited to attend a free one-day workshop to learn more about the curriculum and to gain new insights into teaching about an endangered species. It gives students all the tools to make sense out of the complexity. This classroom-ready curriculum is suitable for use with any level student, grades 6 12. Activities can be used individually to support existing curriculum or used together in a variety of combinations to comprise a complete unit on wolves.
Every activity supports the Minnesota Graduation Standards.
Curriculum information and activities go beyond wolf biology to analyze the human aspects of this topic. Through five distinct modules, students have the opportunity to study the most current wolf information and then develop wolf management plans of their own. Workshops are being held throughout Minnesota the week of June 11 - 16. Teachers attending one of the special workshops will receive an Activity Guide with over 200 pages of activities, maps, worksheets and useful appendices. The International Wolf Center is a non-profit organization based in Ely, Minnesota, where its flagship museum and educational center are located.
