Teacher Programs

CCSB, in collaboration with the IGSB and the Field Museum, offers a high school teacher professional development course every other summer:
Teaching Systems Biology & Genetics Through Inquiry.

Twenty high school teachers from the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) participate in systems biology related training activities linked to ISBE standards. This is a collaborative project between the Center and the Field Museum’s Education Department and Pritzker Lab. Participating teachers who finish the PD course will gain graduate credit and Continuing Professional Development Units (46 CPDUs). There is a stipend for course attendance and classroom materials.
