CGEE
is a recognized provider of professional development for science teachers and
consulting in science/environmental education curricula and projects. Lee
Schmitt and Peggy Knapp are experienced, quality facilitators in the areas of
inquiry methods, environmental and community-based projects, best-practices in
science teaching and facilitating professional learning communities. Workshops
are interactive, inquiry-based, and custom-designed to translate directly to
teaching in the classroom.
Through
the Minnesota Math and Science Partnership Program and with support from 3M
Foundation, Hamline University CGEE has received funding to provide
standards-based, rigorous science professional development to teachers of
science throughout the state. The Minnesota Science Teachers Education Project
(MnSTEP) offers 10, no-cost, summer science workshops for elementary and
secondary teachers of science through regional, five-day summer institutes.
Food, stipend, two graduate credits, MnSTA membership and resources are
provided for teachers. MnSTEP also provides no-cost licensure programs in high
school chemistry (ChemCAL Project) and physics (PhASE Project).

CGEE
also contributes to Hamline
University's outstanding
heritage of teacher training by arranging co-sponsored graduate credit with
schools and providing graduate-level courses that strategically enhance
inquiry-based, experimental learning. CGEE offerings, published in the Graduate
School of Education’s Professional Development for Educators catalog courses,
are facilitated by scientists, master teachers and Hamline professors on a wide
range of environmental and science topics. Some courses enhance the
effectiveness of face-to-face instruction through extended online contact,
building community while supporting curriculum integration back in the
classroom. Others, offered completely online, connect educators, faculty, and
resource experts around the globe.
