The best cross-curricular professional development I have ever been a part of was the Monarch Teacher Network’s “Teaching and Learning with Monarch Butterflies”. I first took the workshop back in 2006 and I still volunteer as a staff leader every summer. It’s fabulous and I can’t recommend it enough! Below you will find information about this summer’s workshops in the US and Canada. (Clicking on the link will take you directly to a registration form for that workshop).
