Summer Institute for Elementary Teachers

The Summer Institute for Elementary Teachers is a three day interactive professional learning workshop for primary and junior-level teachers (kindergarten to grade 6). The program shares innovative teaching strategies for integrating science, technology, engineering, and math into classroom lessons. Teachers discover new ways to have students apply their knowledge. Teachers are also equipped with information and resources to share with other teachers in their home communities.

Faculties of education, co-ordinators, and principals: help teachers rediscover the Museum as a teaching resource.

Sessions familiarize teachers with the Museum's exhibitions, programs, online resources, and educational services (available September to January).

Teacher Previews

Free teacher preview evenings are scheduled in the fall and when new exhibitions open. If you would like to be invited to these events, please send an email with "preview" in the subject line to education@technomuses.ca.
