Teachers and informal educators are invited to join us for a free one-day professional development training. We’ll learn about SERC research related to native plants and orchids, try our hand at a pollinator STEAM activity, and build a bog to take home to use in your classroom or center. The content is aimed at upper elementary to middle school students.
You must be an educator working with students. We have stipends of $75 for the day, and you will get a free plant bog and curriculum to use. To receive a stipend you must have a PayPal account.
