When you come to a fork in the road, take it. - Yogi Berra
Dear Friends,
We're here at the fork. While the doors to the Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center are temporarily closed, our commitment to sustaining Yogi's values has never been stronger. Respect, teamwork, perseverance, humility - these are the qualities that will see us through this crisis. Together.
That's why we're launching the first part of a brand-new ONLINE EDUCATION CURRICULUM that is FREE for teachers, parents, grandparents, caregivers and students - anyone with internet has access.
- Lesson plans for middle and high school students leverage sports as an engaging vehicle for online learning.
- Unit topics include IMMIGRATION and RACE, with additional subject areas to come.
- Activities, print-outs, videos, photos and supplementary resources are included.
- Museum education staff is available for support. Contact Jenny Pollack, Education Director, with any questions or feedback.
Our hope is that these online lesson plans will help sustain Yogi's legacy of respect and kindness - a legacy too big to be contained within the walls of one Museum - as we weather this as one team. In other words:
"It ain't over..."

COST: FREE Scholarships will be funded by National Geographic and Montclair State University. Scholarships include all meals, on-site lodging and educational resources.
This five-day summer professional development workshop for middle school teachers will focus on an extended hands-on experience in assessing ecosystem biodiversity.

Teachers will learn field methods and improve their content knowledge in biology, ecology, and environmental science. Teachers will contribute to a NJSOC Bioblitz event scheduled to coincide with the workshop, allowing teachers to utilize the concept and curriculum materials for National Geographic’s and iNaturalists’s Bioblitz program. The concluding activity will be for the workshop participants to translate their newly developed skills to their classroom, school and local community by creating a lesson or unit plan that applies workshop learning. Full workshop description can be found HERE. Deadline to apply: April 1, 2020
