AZventure Expeditionary Learning Series Events: These free instructional study tours explore Arizona as our classroom. Through real-world, hands-on experiences, teachers increase their personal knowledge of the state’s unique natural resources and natural resource industries. Each one provides valuable information to take back to the classroom and incorporates related cross-curricular themes that align with Arizona’s Academic Standards.

Classroom Connections Learning Series Events: These free classroom-style events provide teachers with the knowledge and skills they need to create high-performing classrooms. Natural resource topics such as “green power” and air quality are interwoven with inquiry, questioning or interpretation skills; strategies from Robert Marzano’s research-based instruction strategies; and methods to increase the intellectual rigor of instruction by showing cross-curricular connections.

Custom-Designed Best Practices Workshops: These in-district or on-campus, fee-based workshops are designed to help teachers and administrators implement research-validated “best practices” and the most promising strategies for improving their schools and ultimately increasing student achievement. Choose from more than a dozen topics, which can be customized to your specific instructional needs and calendar.
