Rooted, Restored, Resilient
Growing our students and ourselves 

Saturday, January 24, 2026 | 9am – 3pm
Breakfast and check in starts at 8:30am

Join us at the Nature Museum for this year’s Partner Teacher Conference as we explore the ways we can grow ourselves and our students both inside and outside the classroom.

Our keynote and breakout sessions will highlight Nature Museum scientists and the work they are doing to support resilient ecosystems right here in and around Chicago. Conference sessions will include connections to best practices in science education and the Next Generation Science Standards.

Teachers are eligible to receive Professional Development Clock Hours for attendance and can expect to leave with a variety of tools, strategies, and materials to use with their students in the classroom.
