Teachers and administrators are saying:
"ChickQuest is one of the best teacher programs I’ve been involved in. The enthusiasm was contagious. I feel ready to help my students better understand life cycles of living things. We have already ordered our eggs." From a teacher, Bexley City Schools.
"Three teachers from my school attended ChickQuest. They came back fired up about the information! They have been raving about the quality of the inservice, the speakers, the materials, etc. They have hatched chicks and ducks in the past but they have a renewed sense of energy now. In short: they loved it and can't wait to come back. It is not always the case that we find such quality professional learning for teachers." From a principal, Cincinnati Schools
"I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed ChickQuest. It was very well run, organized, and meaningful. The curriculum materials are very well done – a teacher’s dream. I can’t thank you enough for helping me bring this experience to my students." From a teacher, Gahanna-Jefferson Schools
The Ohio Soybean Council, Meyer Hatchery, and OSU Extension are providing this curriculum for elementary teachers in Ohio during the 2023-2024 school year.
*Registration is limited to Ohio elementary teachers and extension agents.
