Teachers
Workshops consisting of scientific talks
from the forefront of research, hands-on experiments,
exhibitions of teaching resources, discussions on
improving biology education and integrating ethical
and societal considerations into classroom teaching.
Workshops are organised at institutes across Europe.
In the LearningLAB, science school teachers can attend practical laboratory courses that cover cutting-edge research topics and methods.
The LearningLAB also
runs a visitors programme for scientists and science
educators that want to work with teachers, develop teaching
material and education programmes.
The
TeachingBASE provides
an online archive for outstanding science teaching material,
offers general information related to science education
initiatives throughout the world and serves as communication
and exchange forum for science educators.
Continuing
Education for European Biology Teachers (CeeBT) ran
from March 2003 to February 2005. EMBO is continuing
to host the EMBO
practical workshops for science teachers and The
European Learning Laboratory for the Life Sciences (ELLS)
at EMBL continues to run LearningLABs
and host the TeachingBASE.
Updates of the resources on the CeeBT TeachingBASE can
be found on the ELLS web site.
This project is funded by the EC, DG Research, with the contract number QLG7-CT-2002-30573 under the programme Quality of Life and Management of Living Resources.
