Population Education has opened registration for its spring 2017 online professional development course for science and social studies educators (grades 6-12). The course runs from March 13 - May 12, 2017. Discover student-centered learning strategies that use contemporary issues and real-world data to examine the social and environmental impacts of human population growth.
 If you teach about topics like environmental science, world or human geography, biology or life science, world history, or their AP counterparts, this course could be very useful. The course is asynchronous, which means educators can work at their own leisure and pace. There are online discussion boards, weekly journals, and a final project, all built to provide participants with meaningful feedback and materials to use within their own school classrooms. Teachers can choose to earn one hour of graduate education credit from the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) or 45 professional development clock hours for successfully completing the full eight weeks. 
Class size is capped at 30 participants, so don't wait to sign up. The cost is $80.00 to earn 45 CEU hours or $155.00 (for credit) + $80.00 (for CEUs) to earn credit through UMKC.  For more information and to register, visit https://courses.populationeducation.org.
