Happy World Teacher's day, everyone! We want to us Happy World Teacher's day, everyone! We want to use this day as an excuse to tell the world how amazing (and marvelous) our Project ReCharge teachers are. Without passionate and involved Project ReCharge teachers, Envirolution would never achieve its mission and goals. Also, every other teacher out there, we see you, we value you, and you are amazing. Are you celebrating a teacher in your life today? #WorldTeachersDay #Teachers #Envirolution #ProjectReChage
Yesterday our Project ReCharge Teachers attended P Yesterday our Project ReCharge Teachers attended Project ReCharge's Sneak Peek training featuring a brand new lesson - Climate Scene Investigation. During the lesson, participants are provided with clues and solved various puzzles to identify the culprits of climate change. This training was especially exciting as this was our first time teaching our lesson in a hybrid format and had 9 teachers join is in-person and 26 virtual teachers attend the professional learning session. It was an absolute blast seeing our teachers discover and be excited about this lesson. We can’t wait to hear how it will go in the classroom. A special thank you to the @driscience for letting us use their location.
✨Teacher Spotlight✨ Today we are highlighting ✨Teacher Spotlight✨ Today we are highlighting Mickey Smith, another incredible Project ReCharge master teacher. Mickey has an impressive background in science and engineering. She graduated from UNR, with degrees in Civil Engineering and Geological Engineering. Before becoming a teacher, Mickey was the geotechnical engineering manager at James Edward Engineering for 6 years, followed by a principal engineer at Wood Rodgers, Inc., for 7 years. In her 5th year of teaching at Wooster High School, Mickey has had the opportunity to teach physical science, chemistry, astronomy, honors physics, and design technology. As a teacher, Mickey looks for new and exciting opportunities to enhance her students' learning. She has helped facilitate professional development to newProject ReCharge teachers and helped us fit the curriculum in with current standards. When Mickey is not working, she is often hiking, quilting, and watching nerdy science videos. Mickey is not only a fantastic teacher but an advocate for better teaching practices, hands-on labs, and inquiry-based learning. We are so lucky to have her as a master teacher! #Envirolution #Projectrecharge #STEAMeducation
It’s Hispanic Heritage Month! This month is all It’s Hispanic Heritage Month! This month is all about celebrating the histories, cultures, and contributions of people whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. Our Development Coordinator, Brittney Gutierrez, is of Hispanic descent, specifically from Nicaragua. “What I would like people to know about Latinos is that that we are all not the same. It can be easy to lump us into the same category, but we all come from different places and have different interests. Some of us are of indigenous descent, some of us of European descent, and others of African descent. Some of us are a mixture of everything. We enjoy rock music and academics. Some of us hate dancing, and, contrary to popular belief, many Latin American countries do not tolerate spicy food. There is so much complexity and diversity within each country and region that it is wildly impossible to lump our experiences and history, and culture into one solitary thing.” We loved learning about Brittney’s culture and Nicaragua. We are so happy to have you on the Envirolution team. Thanks Brittney!
