Possible Program Topics

Classroom presentations of one hour are available as “demonstration lessons”. It is hoped that this process will enable the requesting teacher to conduct that lesson in the future.

The following non-credit workshops of 2-3 hours duration are available to teachers.  These workshops are suitable as in-service training for local career ladder programs.  Workshops can be led at locations convenient to teachers but at least 10 participants are necessary.
