Teacher Professional Development
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.
For Early Educators
Workshops for early education are designed to help build skills and confidence for teaching all curriculum areas outdoors.
For K–12 Educators
Workshops are available for Kindergarten–Grade 12 educators, both in-person and online.
For Adult Learners
Adults (whether or not you are an educator) can learn about a variety of natural history topics through our online programs.
