Area Science Teachers to be Honored at November 18th Ceremony
WACO, TEXAS – Fifty-five distinguished science educators will be recognized at Education Service Center (ESC) Region 12’s annual Honoring the Teachers ceremony held on Wednesday from 8:30 – 11:30 a.m. at 2101 W. Loop 340, Waco.
This special event is sponsored by the Texas Regional Collaborative (TRC) for Excellence in Science and Mathematics Teaching, the AT&T Foundation, and the ESC Region 12.
“We would like to congratulate and acknowledge this exceptional group of educators for their time and dedication,” said Laura Calhoun, ESC Region 12 science collaborative project director. “The Collaborative benefits science teachers by providing them with high-quality, professional development, technology training and continual networking opportunities.”
The event will also recognize the Science Mentors and Teachers of the Year for 2008-09. The recognized science teachers have mentored a minimum of three other teachers and obtained 105 hours of training in the last year about the latest methods and techniques to engage students in science learning experiences. These mentors return to their schools to assist other teachers in incorporating the methods and techniques into their curriculum.
All honorees will be presented with a certificate of achievement and award plaque. Region 12 administrators and colleagues will serve as the keynote speakers, providing testimonials on behalf of this year’s award winners.
