ABOUT THE TEACHING SAFARI
The Teaching Safari combines professional learning with onsite exploration of nature and animals at Brookfield Zoo Chicago. The program welcomes K-12 educators in all subject areas, and consists of four full-day, onsite sessions at the Zoo, and two 60-minute virtual sessions. In addition to attending and participating in these classes, participants engage in ongoing reflection on professional growth, and create and revise a lesson plan applying program content to practice.
