training opportunities
The Louisville Zoo is a resource to teachers in the Kentuckiana
area enabling them to discover, explore and experience the
biodiversity of this planet. Louisville Zoo Education staff
can provide training as to how to use this “living classroom”,
especially in the areas of applying basic skills in situations
similar to those students will experience in life, using thinking
and problem-solving skills and integrating knowledge.
Staff is available to assist teachers and entire schools in
creating common core standards in their
classrooms or on a trip to the Zoo.
