Free Training for Teachers To acquire the Fossils to Fuel curriculum, teachers must attend a day-long training session.
Teachers leave the workshop with a teacher's guide and an activities kit.
The workshops are free, and the OERB reimburses school districts for substitute pay so teachers can attend the training. To find out more information on workshop dates click here .
