Educator Professional Development Day
On March 20, 2009, Cornell University Outreach hosted preK-12 educators for Educator Professional Development Day. The workshops were designed to enhance teachers’ knowledge of the subjects they teach, stimulate new approaches to teaching, and give teachers a deeper understanding of their students and how they learn. Cornell faculty, graduate students, and other presenters contributed their time, and workshops offered content appealing to a wide range of participants.
