Want to be the person everyone wants to take a class from?  We will show you some time-tested techniques for keeping your audiences interested, engaged, and eager for more.  This team of certified non-formal environmental educators will lead an interactive workshop where they share their secrets to keeping adult learners, of all backgrounds, awake for one-hour or three!  Bring your class materials and presentations, and we’ll help you add in some things to make it more engaging.
