Congratulations to Santa Rosa and Escambia counties for launching a school initiative called I LOVE Science. Apparently, it is a mentoring program where volunteers come into the classroom to teach about science.
“I LOVE Science comes out of a national need for more people in science and math,” said Mary E. Johnson, Santa Rosa County School District science coordinator. “Younger students have a passion for science, and we need to nurture that.”
…
Increasing Local Opportunities for Volunteers Enthusiastic About Science was created by Gulf Power and the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition.
I LOVE Science also will help students get ready for the science section of the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test. The scores will be counted this year toward schools’ grades.
