Educator Workshops
As educators, you look for ways to share knowledge with students in ways that will help them remember and utilize that knowledge. Teacher workshops are a resource for you - get new ideas, boost your excitement about the coming year, and see a different approach to the average science class. And why not do all that in the mountains?
