The Science and Environmental Education Advisory Collaborative (SEEAC) is a professional learning community of formal and informal educators from across the ALCOSAN service area. The group meets five times during the school year to network, share best practices, learn about ALCOSAN’s proposed educational programs and activities, and provide input to inform the work of the Scholastic Outreach Department to best meet the needs of students.

Our 2024 Workshop series will start on September 14th, during our Annual Open House. Four additional workshops will be scheduled in the months of November, January, March and May. Participants will receive 3 FREE ACT 48 hours for each workshop they attend (All hours will be reported at the conclusion of the series in May).
