Brookfield Zoo is now an approved provider for continuing education credit through the Illinois State Board of Education, so it's a great time to take a teacher class. The zoo's classes offer CEU's and, in most cases, optional college credit. Teachers outside suggested grade levels may attend and adapt materials for their own use. Participants will receive a list of the corresponding Illinois State Standards for each class.
Classes fill up quickly.
To register please make your check payable to Brookfield Zoo and send with your name, address, and phone number. Golf Road, Brookfield, IL 60513. We'll focus on information and interesting activities that you'll be able to use with your students. Work with a team to develop curriculum ideas to share with the class. We'll study the major causes of species decline, observe endangered animals that live here at Brookfield Zoo, visit with some of the staff responsible for their care, sample activities that illustrate causes of species endangerment and discuss things that we all can do to live harmoniously with the natural world.
