There are many rainforest travel opportunities. The workshop is cosponsored by the National Science Teachers Association and the National Biology Teachers Association. The Amazon Rainforest Workshop for Educators allows participants to become involved with field research that is currently being conducted in the area.
Participants explore a variety of topics in small-group workshops at three different sites.
Workshop topics include Rainforest Ecology, Rainforest Conservation, Tropical Mammals, Neotropical Insects, Tropical Birds, Medicinal Use of Plants, and others. Workshops are led by scientists, researchers, and recognized environmental educators. Participants are given time to work together to develop lesson plans and activities. Participants are also sent a large resource binder full of articles, lesson plans, and project ideas to use with their students. The accommodations were simple, but comfortable.
