Upcoming Educator Workshops
Schedule of Educator Workshops
* Also check the Annual Teacher Institutes held in various locations across NYS for workshop opportunities.
Project Learning Tree's E-Units (Special Opportunity)
If you are a formal teacher* in NYState, please contact the NYS PLT Coordinator, Betsy Ukeritis, to discuss access to the online K-2nd grade; 3rd-5th grade; or 6th-8th grade E-unit opportunities [links leave DEC website]. These links are to provide an overview, if you are interested in the online training, please reach out to Betsy at either edprofdevel@dec.ny.gov or 315-314-0768 (before you purchase them). *NOTE: I say formal teacher for these because they are truly tied to in-class learning and correlated to learning standards.

Train-the-Trainer Workshops (to become a facilitator)
These workshops are multi-day trainings, requiring attendance for all days, and are for specific curricula. They are offered on a limited basis, move around the state, and may not return for two or more years. We are trying to have a more set schedule with a built-in rotation around the state but please note the location of these special workshops. We do NOT offer funding to cover travel, lodging, mileage, and there may be a charge for lunch.
