Wakulla County High science teacher Ann Kennedy<\/a> was selected by the district\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s superintendent for a unique training opportunity made possible by a $25,000 grant from Progress Energy. The timing of this training is critically important because, in 2006-2007, student FCAT science scores are tied to school grades.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Because science is a field that changes daily due to research, it is important to stay abreast of new developments,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Brenda Crouch, a consultant with the Panhandle Area Educational Consortium (PAEC). \u00e2\u20ac\u0153One of the best ways to stay current is to attend a national conference that offers pre-conference institutes and more than 1,200 concurrent sessions for science educators. Professional development of this caliber is expensive, and our small, rural districts cannot afford to pay for teachers to attend the conference and for travel costs associated with attendance.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

That is, until now. Kennedy joins eight other science teachers from northwest Florida who will attend the 55th Annual National Science Teachers Association National Conference March 29-April 1 in St. Louis, thanks to Progress Energy.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
