It was 114 degrees in the shade, but 50 NEED teachers, energy professionals, and partners gathered in the California desert to train, learn, share, and plan for NEED's teacher training efforts. Hosted every few years, NEED's Facilitator Training is an intense four days packed with content sessions about current NEED curriculum and sessions about energy issues and technologies as well as activities designed to improve facilitator skills and to develop new NEED training capabilities. Thanks to the hard work of NEED Facilitators Todd Rogers, Regina Donour, and Vernon Kimball, participants left the training saying it was the hardest, but most rewarding work they've ever done. NEED's success is founded on the skills and dedication of NEED workshop faciliators. Many thanks to those who participated in the training.
