The French National Museum of Natural History (www.mnhn.fr) is highly experienced in providing professional development for science teachers. Courses for primary and secondary school teachers have been in place for the past 15 years. Over the last four years, approximately 3000 teachers per year have attended at least one of the courses provided.
Secondary life science teachers will visit the “Muséum national d’histoire naturelle” for up to three days to attend lectures and engage in hands-on learning opportunities through laboratory workshops. Additionally, teachers will utilize specialized software and learn to prepare for visits to the Museum's galleries and gardens to amplify scientific and historical concepts.
