Overview

The Educator Academy in the Amazon Rainforest provides powerful professional development designed to transform student learning. Immersed for 10 days in the Peruvian Amazon, teachers learn about this key global ecosystem while building their ability to engage students in scientific research, engineering design, cross-cultural connections, and stewardship projects. Skilled Peruvian guides lead natural history exploration – in small boats, along trails, and on one of the world’s most extensive canopy walkways. Professional scientists engage educators in field research and citizen science. And villagers in remote communities demonstrate their ways of life, highlighting conservation practices with which they are aiming for long-term sustainability of the rainforest resources on which their livelihoods depend.
