Welcome Educators!

Thanks to a generous endowment gift from the Rainwater Charitable Foundation, The BRIT SEED (Science-based Experiential Education Design) School for educators, located in the Suzanne Rall Peacock Education Center, inspires and supports educators in connecting children to nature through the use of outdoor classrooms, nature, and urban environments. 

Embracing a “sense of place” philosophy, The BRIT SEED School utilizes hands-on, real-world learning experiences that encourage individuals to “develop stronger ties to their community, enhance appreciation for the natural world, and create a heightened commitment to serving as active, contributing citizens.” (David Sobel, Place-Based Education)

Professional Development

Professional development in the BRIT SEED School engages teachers in research-based best practices that support state and national standards. Our focus on experimental, interdisciplinary education consistently connects the learner to earth systems. BRIT is a registered professional development provider for the State Board of Educator Certification.

Teacher Resource Center

You are invited to be our guest at the Teacher Resource Center (TRC). Explore our resources and enjoy our amazing view of BRIT’s native Texas prairie while you grade papers, work on lesson plans, and network with colleagues.

The TRC houses a collection of teaching guides, children’s books, and scientific equipment which teachers can borrow, take, and use for personal and classroom enrichment at no cost other than a deposit on the materials.
