Adults attend a 6 or 15 hour workshop to learn to use the materials effectively. At the end of the training, the workshop participants go home with 180 activities in two curriculum guides that span the K-12 learning levels , and are applicable in science, social studies, language arts, math, art, and physical education. They are not meant to be a complete course of study. Rather, they work best integrated into what you already teach. That they are easily adapted to learning levels different from those listed in the guides.
Most activities work well with several areas of study .
WILD activities are designed to reach a diversity of learning styles . You don't need a lot of fancy equipment or have a strong background in science to use WILD activities. Each activity gives good background on the concepts being taught, lists materials needed, identifies the teaching method, gives step by step instructions, and suggests ideas for evaluation and activity extensions. The curriculum guides are extensively cross-referenced by grade level, subject area, skills used and topic. The goal of Project WILD is to assist learners of any age in developing awareness, knowledge, skills and commitment which will result in informed decisions, responsible behavior, and constructive actions concerning wildlife and the environment upon which all life depends.
