Alabama educators convene at HudsonAlpha for Middle School GPS workshop

Educators from across the state gathered at the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology for the Middle School GPS workshop on February 26, 2020.

Led by the Educational Outreach team, GPS gives middle school life science educators the opportunity to learn new and innovative ways to teach genomic and genetic concepts to their classes.

“We work with our friends at AMSTI, the Alabama State Department of Education,” said HudsonAlpha Educator Learning Specialist Jennifer Hutchison. “They have specialists throughout the state and they help us identify where there might be needs for classroom resources that can help teachers to hit that content.”

WAAY TV and WHNT spoke with Hutchison and Madelene Loftin, Educator Professional Learning Lead about how the workshop is equipping educators with the tools they need to teach complex concepts.

The next Middle School GPS workshop will take place in Tuscaloosa, Ala. on March 12. Register today!
