Synopsys Outreach Foundation Partners with RAFT and the Krause Center of Innovation for their 2022 Teacher Training Series

Bay Area Middle & High School Educators

In March, we are debuting an Environmental Literacy Think Tank (for middle and high school teachers) – in partnership with RAFT. This program aims to provide teachers and students the opportunity to explore their own local ecosystems and engage in hands-on activities (outside!). The kickoff will be on Saturday, March 26th and provide resources teachers can use with their students on Earth Day!

Come engage in some SEL, explore a local park (through the eyes of a student), and enjoy some snacks in the sun. Participants are also invited to a summer mini-series of sessions designed to provide teachers time and support in integrating the new Environmental Literacy Standards into their existing curriculum.

Additionally, K-6 STEAM educators are invited to grow in leadership and equity (June 20-24) with the KCI STEAM Leadership Program. This program focuses on research-backed equity-driven instruction and pedagogy. SOF is sponsoring 20 teachers to participate in this program. Teachers who participate in it will receive 12 continuing education units, a STEAM Instructional Leadership Certificate from the State of California, and a group of like-minded educators who are devoted to equitable STEAM instruction.
