We are excited to welcome 29 new teachers for the 2019/2020 school year!
Participating Project ReCharge teachers will receive extensive hands-on professional development training on the lessons and activities covered in the curriculum. The current training model includes a three day, intensive summer institute followed by 1 Saturday session and 5 two-hour sessions throughout the school year. The summer institute provides in-depth instruction regarding the Next Generation Science Standards, Phenomena, as well as hands-on project based activities. Guest speakers are integrated into the remaining professional development sessions throughout the year, providing teachers with information from energy and STEM experts which can then be brought back to the classrooms. These follow up sessions also allow teachers from different schools and grade levels to collaborate and share various teaching methods, modifications and best practices. We have worked with NDOE to offer our courses as the renewal credits NV teachers will need each year. Envirolution will work with School District administration and teachers on the preferred schedule and methodology of the professional development, meeting the needs of teachers and program partners.
