National Science Teachers Association recommends QDMA’s ‘Living with White-tailed Deer’ program
Bogart, Ga. – The National Science Teachers Association has announced its review and recommendation of “Living with White-tailed Deer,” an interactive classroom program on urban/suburban deer issues from the Quality Deer Management Association. The NTSA’s panel of reviewers includes top-flight teachers and other outstanding science educators who only recommend the best available supplements for science teaching.
“This is appropriate for both middle and secondary students,” NSTA reviewer Richard Smith writes, “and the material is well correlated to the National Science Education Standards. This material is well-thought-out and would enhance any biology or environmental science class.”
“Living with White-tailed Deer” meets national academic standards in environmental education, science, social studies and civics. The program is an international winner of The Wildlife Society’s Conservation Education Award, and it is a national winner of the Outdoor Writers Association of America’s Golden Eco Award, which is given to the top conservation-education production.
“Living with White-tailed Deer” includes a three-part, DVD-based video and an interactive CD-ROM with printable support materials in PDF format. “LWWTD” is intended to serve as the basis for a week-long classroom activity for students in grades 7-12.
“LWWTD” is available now from the QDMA for $29.95, plus shipping and handling. Discounts are available to educators. Please call the QDMA at (800) 209-3337 for details. A video-based version intended for general-public distribution will be available from QDMA later this year.
