Professional Learning Opportunities for Educators
The Education staff is busy creating workshops and courses for educators looking to connect their classrooms to the big ideas of sustainability. Work with peers to learn how to bring winter wildlife tracking into the curriculum, or join networks devoted to learning and teaching about climate change for all grade levels.
Look through our opportunities and keep checking back as we add more to the calendar.
