The following professional development workshops for teachers are being offered in the coming months by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources’ Division of Education through the ENTICE (Environment and Nature Training Institute for Conservation Education) program. Continuing Professional Development Units are available for all of these workshops. For the first time, three of the workshops are being offered in an online version.

ENTICE workshops provide background information about the topic presented by resources professionals, hands-on activities that can be instantly implemented into the classroom and many Illinois-specific supplemental materials to assist your teaching.
