Throughout the school year and during the summer, Cary Institute educators provide workshops for interested teachers in the Hudson Valley region and beyond.
We are also available to come to your school on professional development days, or during after school meetings. All workshops are designed to align with NYSSLA Standards. Please contact us to develop a program appropriate for your school.
Registration for these workshops is through Dutchess BOCES. For more information or with questions about registering please contact caryeducation@caryinstitute.
We also offer Summer Institutes, week-long teacher training on Cary's 2,000 acre campus and nearby field sites. High school and middle school teachers are eligible to apply to our Research Experience for Teachers program.
