In my teaching career, I’ve found professional development focused on culturally responsive teaching and trauma-informed practices to be incredibly valuable. These opportunities have given me practical strategies to better connect with and support a diverse group of students. I’ve also benefited from training in data-driven instruction and integrating technology into the classroom, which has helped me tailor learning experiences and keep students engaged.

I highly recommend checking out Expeditions in Education.

They offer weekend trainings at National Parks and Historical Sites throughout the year. They also have 4-5 day long teacher camps at National Parks in the summer. During the school year, they are livestreams available for free! There are also lesson plans and activities on the website.
