Thank you for your interest in Elachee's 2007 Teacher Education Programs.  Elachee's popular Professional Learning Unit (PLU) courses help teachers improve their classroom instruction while increasing their appreciation and understanding of the natural world.

Each combines classroom and field activities and resources that are entertaining and relevant to the classroom. All courses have been accredited by the Georgia Department of Education and most metro Boards of Education. We are also available to present custom workshops or provide consultations at your school.
