 The Cary Institute is offering two weeks of free professional development for teachers who are interested in learning about ecosystem ecology, focusing on aquatic ecology at the secondary level and water, food, and waste systems at the elementary level. We will help you teach your students about the ecosystems we depend on, and how they can make a difference. Teachers will spend time working with Cary Institute scientists, learn how to integrate schoolyard ecology into their classrooms, gain data analysis skills, and learn about current scientific concepts from Cary Institute educators. Find out more about the individual Institutes below.
