Science teachers tell us it is even better when you take the course with a colleague! That way, you have a thought partner and someone to assist with both the active learning and the taking action components. Consider inviting another science or an English, social studies, art, or special education teacher at your school, or invite a community environmental educator from a supporting agency like Soil and Water Conservation, 4-H, or a local non-profit to take the course with you. If you are applying with a colleague, ONE of you needs to be a middle or high school science teacher.
By participating in the Mid-Atlantic Solutionaries Project, teachers will:
