AFRE

 

 

Since our inception in 2002 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, AFRE has become a unique resource for Arizona K-12 educators in all disciplines. We are dedicated to increasing student achievement through the design and delivery of cutting-edge professional development for teachers and administrators.

Hands-On Learning

AFRE is a collaborative nonprofit organization that unites education, business and other organizations that are engaged in promoting understanding about Arizona's natural resources and the environment.

Our approach to environmental sciences education is to provide a broad spectrum of current information representing diverse perspectives.

Our faculty and event participants have ready access to industry experts and real-world learning opportunities throughout the state. Arizona becomes our living classroom.

AFRE is committed to continually refine our programs to reflect current research that models the very best educational practices. AFRE empowers teachers to bring science, math, reading and technology into their classrooms.

Each year our corporate and other financial support allow us to present our AZventure Series — nearly three dozen professional development events focusing on natural resources and related themes.

A Teacher-Centered Approach
AFRE's approach to professional development is teacher-centered because high quality teaching assures high student achievement. We offer our Best Practices Series of public workshops, custom-tailored training and support services to enhance educators' instructional and leadership skills for the purpose of comprehensive school improvement and increased academic achievement of Arizona's students.
