Professional Development For Educators

Eversource works with the National Energy Education Development (NEED) Project to bring hands-on energy workshops for Educators to Massachusetts schools. The workshops cover content from the Next Generation Science Standards and provide resources and training to help educators teach their energy standards in an engaging way.

Topics include the forms of energy and energy transformations, energy sources, electricity and magnetism and energy efficiency. The workshops are designed to showcase how the curriculum works in the classroom – both in person and virtual. Educators receive hands-on kits for their classrooms.
