Crystal Cove Conservancy’s Teacher Learning Community is a professional community of motivated and enthusiastic educators who participate in The Conservancy’s educational programs and are interested in collaborating and sharing knowledge with each other. Normally, TLC members receive access to field trip scholarships and in-person professional development.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Crystal Cove Conservancy has moved all of our programs and professional development workshops online for the 2020-2021 school year! All of our programs and workshops are offered at no-cost to teachers and other science educators who want to learn more about best practices in STEM education and strategies to integrate our educational programs.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Holly Fletcher, Education Manager, by emailing holly@crystalcove.org!
