Continuing Education

​​​​

At Alaska Resource Education, we believe that education shouldn’t stop with students. Our teachers need to stay inspired and passionate to effectively reach the next generation. ARE’s continuing education opportunities aim to flip the script and provide a fun learning environment for Alaska teachers. When teachers learn, their confidence and enthusiasm grows and that energy transfers into their student engagement. 

 

Our continuing education programs teach educators how to implement ARE’s curriculum in the classroom. They provide context and background for introducing the importance of Alaska’s natural resources, as well as giving the tools to inspire through scientific and career-centered activities. The training demonstrates how ARE’s curriculum is designed to be easily implemented in classrooms and aligns with current science standards.  

 

As part of our efforts, we host the Natural Resource Management Teacher Externship, a weeklong road trip through Alaska's natural resource sites. This course is certified through the University of Alaska as a 500-level course granting three CEU.
