New and Pre-Service Teachers
This annual workshop held over the weekend of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is specifically designed for new teachers K-12 (generally pre-tenure) and pre-service teachers (students enrolled in a college or university program leading to certification in secondary education). This workshop introduces teachers to CIBT labs that require minimal preparation and to other Cornell outreach groups.

Summer Workshops
These workshops bring teachers together every summer to learn about recent research in biology and to promote interactions between teachers and Cornell scientists. Each workshop includes talks from Cornell research scientists, hands-on lab and field activities, and opportunities for teachers to interact with other teachers and Cornell researchers. The workshops are held on the Cornell campus in Ithaca, NY during July. These summer workshops, as well as all other CIBT-sponsored activities, are free of charge, thanks to funding from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. The workshops are open to teachers from any location, with preference given to teachers from New York State and surrounding states. Participants earn a small stipend and are provided with housing at no cost.
