Are you interested in connecting global climate research to climate change in Delaware?  Would you like to incorporate authentic climate change data into your classroom instruction?  In this four-day professional development workshop participants will interact with climate scientists from the University of Delaware and learn about recent climate change research being conducted in Antarctica.   Participants will also learn about how this polar research relates and might impact climate change in Delaware. 

Throughout the workshop, teachers will engage with real-world data collected by the researchers and learn how this data can be used in their classroom.  Participants will work together to create lesson plans and resources based on this project to bring back to their classroom that support NGSS and their school curriculum.

This workshop is free and designed for middle and high school classroom teachers. Interested teacher should complete the online registration form. Classroom teachers that attend the workshop will receive a $140 stipend per day for attending.
