Teacher Training

The Virginia Living Museum’s Teacher Training Institute provides outstanding SOL-correlated, grade-level targeted teacher training programs in life, environmental and earth science for teachers of grades K-12. Programs can range from one-day workshops to week-long courses that can be taken for three graduate credits in science or for recertification points.

The Museum’s nationally recognized teacher training programs are designed to increase teacher competency in life, earth and environmental science classroom instruction.

Workshops focus on providing effective SOL-correlated, hands-on techniques that have been classroom tested. Strengthen your content background and discover a wealth of grade-level targeted activities to use in your classroom. Our teacher training programs incorporate real specimens from the museum collections, live animals, scientific equipment, classroom tested activities and the latest scientific information to help you really make science come to life for your students.

The Virginia Living Museum offers a broad selection of workshops and courses for school systems. Teacher training programs can be custom developed to meet your professional development requirements. Call 757-595-1900 ext. 215 for additional information.
