Teacher Professional Development

Teacher professional development training about wetlands at Ashumet Holly Wildlife Sanctuary

Mass Audubon offers professional development workshops designed for active participation and practical application in the classroom, whether virtual or in-person. Teachers can attend workshops offered on a variety of topics or our education staff can design a workshop to meet your specific needs.

Workshops are designed to increase content knowledge, provide teachers with hands-on STEM-focused learning experiences, practice with instructional tools and offer resources for teaching engaging science lessons in the schoolyard or classroom. We use teaching and learning methods associated with inquiry-based instruction while helping teachers navigate standards and curriculum alignment.
