SUCCEED Teacher Program

2023 Program

About the workshop

The SUCCEED Teacher Workshop is a 2-day program where Carnegie Mellon University faculty, Ph.D. students, and other real-world experts work with high school teachers to improve their understanding of climate and energy systems, while providing a platform for discussion and collaboration. Topics include: existing and sustainable energy systems, climate change, government policies, and potential career opportunities for students in these areas. Our goal is to help teachers develop ways to incorporate these materials into their curriculum through active learning techniques that pique student interests.

Benefits and credits

Participants will get access to all of the resources presented to them by the speakers. There will also be opportunities for teachers to brainstorm classroom activities in small groups, which will then be shared with all participants. Further, all eligible Pennsylvania teachers will receive 12 hours of Act 48 professional development credit.

Applicant selection criteria

The workshop is open to all STEM teachers in the U.S. Preference may be given to Environmental Science teachers and teachers in southwestern Pennsylvania. The workshop is limited to 30 participants.
