By submitting this application you understand that if accepted into the program you plan to participate in the Plant Biology Curriculum Development Project at BTI and bring this work into your classroom. You plan the CDP from July 15-20, 2012 at BTI in Ithaca, NY and participate in our professional learning community (PLC) throughout the 2012-2013 academic year. As a PLC, all members are expected to implement new curriculum projects and activities into their classrooms, share results with the group and collaborate with BTI educators via online collaboration and a classroom visit. A Spring Return to BTI brings us full circle and celebrates the impact of the CDP in participating classrooms.
