BATAVIA, IL (AUGUST 19, 2022) Flinn Scientific releases updated free laboratory safety courses designed specifically for middle and high school science teachers.
Just in time for the 2022-2023 school year, Flinn Scientific has released new Lab Safety courses for middle and high school science educators. Offered free of charge, these asynchronous courses can be completed in one session and are intended to help science educators create the safest learning environments possible for their students. These courses are appropriate for teachers new to the science classroom as well as experienced educators. Some states may even offer Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for successfully completing the courses.
“Many teachers may have had limited exposure to safety practices in their educator preparation program, but we all know that creating a safe learning environment is critically important, especially in performing laboratory experiments,” says Michael Lavelle, Flinn Scientific’s chief executive officer.
“Unfortunately, accidents happen in school labs every year. At Flinn, we believe that it is our responsibility to provide resources to educate teachers and administrators on safe practices.”
“As students and teachers return to in-person learning, reinforcing safety protocols is even more important today than in years past,” Lavelle continues. “After having been out of the school building for several years, students may be unaware of safe lab practices. It’s critical that teachers have the knowledge and tools they need to create laboratories where students can learn science safely.”
Flinn’s comprehensive collection of safety courses are accessed through PAVO, Flinn’s digital solutions platform. To get started, teachers need to simply go to https://qrco.de/newlabsafety and create an account, add the free courses to their dashboard and then complete the courses at their own pace. To explore and implement the wide variety of resources PAVO offers, teachers can activate a free trial by going to https://www.flinnsci.com/pavo/teacher-trial/.
