Workshops

Sharpen your science teaching skills! NHMU offers a variety of professional development opportunities to increase the efficacy of teaching science. These opportunities enable teachers to:

  • Learn about science from the perspective of your students

  • Work side-by-side with Museum scientists

  • Gain access to unique teaching resources

Educators repeatedly report that they leave NHMU workshops in a better position to engage and support the student scientists in their own classrooms!

All NHMU hosted workshops are FREE for Utah educators, and relicensure points will be given for attendance.
