NEW BERLIN – Science teachers from all over the area were offered a crash course for introducing nature and research in the classroom at a summer teaching training workshop held on Wednesday.

The workshop, designed for teachers in the K-12 and advanced placement curriculum, was offered by Morrisville State College in conjunction with DCMO BOCES and the Catskill Regional Teachers Center. Teachers picked up on some of the tricks and trades of environmental learning in order to help them better engage students both inside and outside the classroom.
