Teacher inservices and workshops are presented each summer in San Antonio, Texas, by the Positively Aging® & M.O.R.E. programs. Occasionally workshops are also offered during the school year. Workshops are designed to motivate teachers to infuse health/aging issues into the regular school curriculum and to promote scientific literacy as a powerful tool in making life-determining decisions. Most workshops are designed for teachers of all subjects. Every Teacher is a Health Teacher! The Positively Aging® & M.O.R.E. programs are Texas State Board of Educator Certification approved professional development providers (SBEC #500400).
