Our team of master teachers has expertise in the wide variety of topics and issues related to our natural resource themes.
In addition, AFRE’s Best Practices faculty are experienced in cutting-edge, research-based instructional strategies and models, as well as Arizona’s Academic Standards and the Standards and Rubrics for School Improvement — the state’s criteria for evaluating our public schools.
As experienced classroom teachers themselves, our faculty has keen insights into the front-line challenges of K-12 education.
