The Iowa Department of Education, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, AEAs, and other regional institutions are hosting three regional science trainings for teachers, coaches, preservice teachers and informal educators. These events will be held in-person to help facilitate teacher networking and the delivery of a consistent message to science educators across the state. There is a strong push to have at minimum, 1 person from every district attend these trainings. To accommodate travel and substitute issues, the regional trainings will be held three times across the state from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Dates and locations for the trainings are as follows:
- University of Iowa (September 25, 2023)
- Iowa State University (October 3, 2023)
- Buena Vista University (October 19, 2023)
