Teacher Education Program

Macon Electric Cooperative is proud to have had a presence in local schools for numerous years teaching electrical safety to our future members. It came to our attention that in addition to electrical safety we could help provide information on Today’s Energy. To meet this need, Central Electric Power Cooperative, working in conjunction with the University of Missouri, wrote the curriculum for Energy in Today’s Classroom and began offering the course annually in 2013.

This two-day course is held at the University of Missouri – Columbia campus. The class consists of energy topics including Energy Basics, Power Generation, Energy Efficiency, Energy Sources, Economics, and Energy Production, and a Power Generation tour.

Upon completion of the class, the teachers earn 1 graduate credit. This is a FREE graduate credit hour. Macon Electric Cooperative, with support from Northeast Power, covers all the expenses for the course for two teachers working at schools in and surrounding Macon Electric Cooperative’s service area. The scholarship covers ALL expenses including tuition, meals, instructional material, and lodging if needed. An additional graduate hour, not awarded by the scholarship, can be earned upon completion of additional course requirements.
