Teacher Workshops
The workshops cover foundational material in the early weeks, then throughout the term, teachers share experiences about and discuss emerging issues.
All workshops share a focus on the process of inquiry, including observation, uncovering questions that lead to rewarding investigations, developing predictions and action plans, gathering evidence and interpreting findings.
Dragonfly Workshops are carefully designed to fit the different needs of each grade K-8. All workshops offer grade-specific materials and discussion in a small group environment with similar grade teachers.
