Professional Development

Workshops and Institutes

Our teacher workshops and institutes can provide the opportunity for educators to receive graduate credit, Certification Renewal Units (CRUs), and Professional Growth Points for license renewal.

Educator Networking Nights

Educator Networking Nights feature previews of new exhibits and often include expert guest speakers, plus the chance to network with other teachers.

Teacher Community of Inquiry

Teachers who participate in the museum's professional development program also have the opportunity to join the Teacher Community of Inquiry—an online community where teachers can connect with the museum's Education staff and other teachers to communicate, share lesson plans based on units of study, share student work, and learn more about the resources and events provided by the museum.
