PSO, in collaboration with universities and community organizations, provides professional development courses for K-12 teachers each summer. The sessions focus on hands-on, minds-on learning to improve student achievement.

The workshops offer real-world perspectives on energy, economics, the environment and science with presentations from experts in industry, education and government. Many workshops feature tours that may include electrical generating stations; an international wildlife preserve; or other energy industry facilities.

PSO and its parent American Electric Power Co. are partnering to sponsor the seventh annual workshop, Experimental Design: An Introductory Course in Scientific Inquiry, on science for grades 5 through 12 educators in Tulsa this Summer.

For more information on all of our teacher workshops, see our corporate web site, AEP.com.
