 =Sources for Continuing Education=

There are thousands of opportunities for science teachers to participate in workshops and classes that broaden science knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, or both. Some offer graduate credit, others offer Continuing Education Units (CEU’s), and some will even pay you for participating. Many of them include outdoor adventures or exposure to new technology or exciting lab experiences. On this page, you will find a sample of the opportunities available.

This two day workshop is designed to provide educators with an understanding and practical application of instructional strategies that will meet the needs of the varied readiness levels of learners that challenge instruction in a classroom. The class is designed to put participants in a differentiated setting where they can experience the kinds of strategies that support learning on varied interest, readiness levels and learning styles.
