Hands-On Summer PD for Science Teachers

Dear SEMCO,

The Wade Institute for Science Education at Manomet Conservation Sciences is excited to share our upcoming Summer PD opportunities, designed for science teachers K-12, educators, and administrators.

We’d greatly appreciate it if you could share these science PD opportunities with your network and includethem in your newsletter! Your support helps us connect more educators with hands-on, high-impact professional learning.

Thank you,
