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.
NEW IN 2023, the two-day course is moving to the Courtyard Marriott in Jefferson City, MO. The class consists of energy topics including Energy Basics, Power Generation, Energy Efficiency, Energy Sources, Economics, and Energy Production.
Upon completion of the class, a teacher may earn professional development credits. 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 meals, instructional material, and lodging if needed.
