Teachers are encouraged to attend this virtual workshop to gain first-hand knowledge from Bishop Museum’s Malacology experts performing the most extensive research on snails in the Pacific. Researchers will introduce teachers to lessons that will connect students to local issues surrounding invasive species and Rat Lungworm. Participants will see how education can seamlessly incorporate STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, math), HĀ (Nā Hopena A’o), and NGSS. Join this workshop and learn about snails and Rat Lungworm, receive resources to teach about these topics, and get to know the researchers performing ground-breaking research!

Through this course you will learn the following: How to identify native and invasive snails in Hawaiʻi, how to manage pest species in your school's gardens, ways to survey for snails on your school's campus and all about Rat Lungworm such as the life cycle, symptoms of Rat Lungworm Disease and ways to prevent it.

Applications are due by June 12, 2020. This is a non-credit professional development workshop and no portfolio is required. However, the first 20 teachers that register and complete this virtual workshop will receive FREE educational resources and classroom supplies to help teach about the topics covered in the workshop- we strongly encourage you to sign up as soon as possible!
