Teacher Workshops

Prior to bringing a class to a ranger guided program, teachers are required to attend a workshop specific to the program their class will be participating in.

These workshops familiarize new teachers with program opportunities, logistics, and safety considerations. Additionally, workshops set the stage for pre-visit and post-visit classroom activities that allow teachers to provide their students with much more than simply a trip to the park. While not guaranteed, continuing education credit is usually available.

Workshops are typically scheduled on Miami-Dade County teacher work days. The dates below show the workshops offered during the 2011-2012 school year.

You can attend the workshops even if you are not planning to bring students to the park this year. To register for any of these workshops, please send us an e-mail with your name, school, grade level, phone number, and which workshop. If you registered online for a ranger-led program and requested a workshop, you do not need to send a separate email.
