The learning approach will be student-centered. Participating teachers will be provided with the necessary field experiences, study guides, and knowledge background to develop or expand their own field experience-based ecology curriculum.

Teachers are always welcome in other seminars at the institute.
Please keep in mind that these seminars are primarily taught at a graduate and post-graduate level, but are not taught specifically for teachers. As comprehensive introductions to their subjects, seminars at the institute are exceptional learning opportunties for teachers who are simply interested in these subjects for their own personal reasons or who are willing to find creative ways to incorporate new subjects into their own curricula.
