Welcome to our Instructor Training series

for NH Bee School Teachers!

A collaboration of UNH Cooperative Extension, New Hampshire Beekeepers Association, & Northeast SARE

Throughout November 2018 a training course was offered for NH Bee School Instructors to help improve their teaching skills.

Four online lessons were presented which included an interactive lesson and assignment geared towards creating fun and engaging lessons.

The series culminated in a in-person session for a half-day of sharing activities and discussion.

Even though the class has concluded, you're encouraged to explore the material below.

Learn how to better engage adult learners and make information stick so we can continue to grow new beekeeper skills and stewardship in the state.
