ABOUT
Seedlings Educators Collaborative
Since 2005, Seedlings Educators Collaborative has provided professional development, ongoing support and resources to Connecticut educators from diverse school environments. The mission of Seedlings Educators Collaborative is to honor, support, and connect educators from public, parochial, and independent schools by offering ongoing opportunities to share and learn from one another and other experts, to build connections with community resources, and to provide environments to reaffirm their common passion for education.
Our Summer Workshop provides an environment to reaffirm a common passion for education and welcomes a diverse group of pre-K to Grade six teachers from public, independent and parochial schools. In a supportive and actively engaging setting, educators forge ongoing relationships and community connections–and leave with the tools to support them throughout their careers. Throughout the week-long workshop, teachers come together to learn and share transferable strategies and STEAM concepts though a variety of experiences, including visits to local parks and museums and hands-on activities with experts in areas such as child development, art, technology, science, and history.
The Summer Workshop
At the beginning of every summer, a talented and passionate group of seasoned educators gather together to mentor, support, and share their wealth of experience in place-based education and integrated Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM) curriculum with New Haven county and surrounding area teachers. The five-day workshop welcomes a diverse group of Pre-K to Grade 7 teachers from public, independent and parochial schools. In a supportive and actively engaging setting, educators forge ongoing relationships and community connections and leave with tools to support them throughout their careers.
