Professional Learning at the Arboretum
The Dallas Arboretum provides year-round CPE credit opportunities for educators who want to get their students outside of the classroom by building academic connections to the world around them through garden-based learning experiences.
The Arboretum isn’t just the perfect field trip for students and the best floral display in Dallas, but it is also the ideal location to get TEA-approved Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credit if you’re a teacher! All of our workshops allow educators the opportunity to enjoy learning in Dallas’ most beautiful outdoor classroom in highly-aligned and hands-on workshops. Many workshops are also available at your campus (for groups of fifteen or more). Custom workshops available upon request.
Contact education@dallasarboretum.org with any questions.

You will be introduced to the Aquatic WILD K–12 Curriculum and Activity Guide, a 400+ page book filled with activities that allow students to explore and understand the fascinating world of water and the aquatic habitats it supports. The 48 TEKS-aligned activities included in the book explore the following themes: habitats, ecosystems, interference, adaptations and biodiversity.
