New Data Workshop for K-12 Teachers

Harvard Forest's Schoolyard LTER Program, which currently trains teachers from over 50 schools to conduct ecological research in their schoolyards, has added a new professional development workshop for teacher participants. In the Data Level III workshop to be held in January, teachers will work one-on-one with Harvard Forest ecologists to explore advanced graphing techniques for their students' Schoolyard data. The more introductory Data Level I and II workshops, taught by HF ecologist Betsy Colburn, were conducted this fall.
