Our team of four Long Island educators was selected to be in the first group of public school teachers to participate in Eco Classroom. This is a professional development program that is a collaboration between Northrop Grumman Foundation and Conservation International for public high school and middle school science teachers. The goal of the program is to give science teachers field experience to bring back to the classroom and inspire students to pursue their interests in environmental science. The program will take place in Costa Rica at La Selva Biological Station in July 2012.
The team consists of:
Elizabeth Platt: Smithtown HS West, AP Environmental Science and Biology teacher;
Kim Heal Christian: Smithtown HS East, AP Biology and Marine Science teacher;
Lillian Vitalo: Nesaquake Middle School, Biology and 8th Grade Science teacher; and
Adrienne Davis: Brentwood HS, AP Environmental Science and Chemistry teacher.
The other teams are from
California, Chicago and Maryland.
