This year, in cooperation with Partnerships in Lifelong Learning, the Ova Prima Foundation will offer a series of professional development workshops to train educators for the introduction of ovaprimatology into the classroom. The Ova Prima Teacher Workshops are designed and led by Ova Prima's world-renowned faculty. These educators are not only inspiring teachers, but are also respected scholars in the field of ovaprimatological pedagogy. All workshops have been accredited by National Educators Association. Credit toward certificate renewal and continuing education requirements is available for all Ova Prima Teacher Workshops.
Financial aid is also available.
Workshops run continually at the Ova Prima campus throughout the year. Participants will gain a solid grounding in the basic concepts of genetics, archaeology, and natural history as they apply to ovaprimatology. Class discussion will focus on current themes and trends in ovaprimatological research. Participants will develop egg-related lesson plans, rubrics, and active learning activities that address different learning styles. Participants will also have the opportunity to practice target teaching in microteaching labs on camera in the Ova Prima Learning Studio and will have their teaching performances evaluated by faculty and peers.
