SIU² is an authentic, transformative, active professional development where secondary agriscience teachers create innovative learning modules based directly on their immersive, firsthand accounts of the floriculture/green industry, and then teach and disseminate the curriculum to other educators.

SIU² is a three-year professional development program designed to deepen teacher understanding of the interconnectedness of agriculture, focusing on the identified needs in the “green industry.” The SIU 2 team will be diving into an immersive program exploring each stage of the fresh-cut flower industry.
