Educator Workshop: Real Science in the Classroom

Understanding scientific research and how to apply it is an important part of a learner’s process and will be a critical component of the new STEELS standards. Join us at Carnegie Museum of Natural History’s environmental research center in Rector, PA for this new workshop focused on incorporating scientific research into curriculum and informal learning programs. Using the new STEELS standards as guidance, Powdermill educators and experts will discuss how we apply ecological research and how to make it understandable and accessible to learners.

We encourage formal and informal educators from all disciplines to join us for this great opportunity to collaborate and share ideas.

If more than 50% of your students qualify for free or reduced-price school lunch, your school or organization will be eligible for a scholarship towards a museum field trip after the workshop.

Funding is available to reimburse your school or district for substitute teacher costs on the day that you attend this workshop.

When: Tuesday, October 22, 2024, 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Where: Powdermill Nature Reserve, Rector, PA
