RACC high school teachers Tom Lane (Bellows Free Academy, Fairfax) and Kara Lenorovitz (Colchester High School) presenting at the AGU Fall Meeting December 9, 2013.
RACC high school teachers Tom Lane (Bellows Free Academy, Fairfax) and Kara Lenorovitz (Colchester High School) attended and presented at the AGU annual meeting in San Francisco December 9-13th. Tom and Kara prepared a poster describing their professional development experience through participating in the RACC high school program for the past two and four years, respectively. At the conference Tom and Kara also participated in a two-day workshop for teachers to enhance their geosciences content knowledge, and learned about current climate science through the sessions they attended. “Lots of firsts for me” and “I learned a ton!” were some of their take away sentiments. "Attending AGU has been one of the most stimulating experiences in my science teaching career. I hope to transfer this excitement of being at the cutting edge of science communication to my students." – Tom Lane.
