Canceled for 2020
Due to the global coronavirus pandemic, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 institute.
Join us for the Biology Institute at Exeter! Spend a week immersed in biology and enjoy learning the latest biology teaching techniques in a state-of-the-art science education facility at Phillips Exeter Academy. This one-week conference is geared towards secondary school Biology/Life Science and Environmental Science teachers. The institute includes a week-long course focused on pedagogy in the Biology classroom. Also included are 4 Advanced Biology Technique seminars, two half-day and one all-day field trips.
“I thoroughly enjoyed this conference. The teachers who taught and participated were all great! I left the conference with a bag of good, useful information and resources. I will use a good deal of it to beef up and improve my courses next school year."
