REGION I Emily Holloway Portland, ME Science Teacher (8 yrs) Expertise: Expeditionary Learning My NASA Data Products Accomplishments: R. Gaynor McCown Excellence in Teaching Award - 2022 Finalist Bow Seat Sponsor Appreciation Award Columbia University Summer Research Program for Teachers - Program Participant As humanity adapts to a changing climate, prepares for earthquakes, and deals with many forms of pollution, I see a desire in students to understand how earth's systems work and how they have become out of balance in a relatively short time. Likewise, it's incredible to go along the journey with students as they consider time scales and their place in the universe. | REGION II Fredonia, NY SUNY Distinguished Professor (20 yrs) HS ES/Physics/Engineering teacher (15 yrs) Expertise: Accomplishments: SUNY Chancellor’s Award - Excellence in Research I don't think there is any better way for students (young & old) to learn about the world around them than through ESS. And I don't think there is any organization that dedicates its self more to helping to bring ESS to life than NESTA. | REGION III Andrea Mangold Prior Profession: Expertise: Accomplishments: Coming Soon | REGION IV Ruston, LA UTeachTech Instructor—LA Tech Uni (5 yrs) Prior Profession: Einstein Educators Fellow (2012-2013) Expertise: Accomplishments: I was sitting in my 8th-grade ES class 'learning" about rocks—through pictures in the textbook. I remember thinking, "it would be awesome if we really had some rocks here - when talking about rocks!" I swore if I ever found myself teaching others about rocks—I would have some there for them to touch! |
REGION V Jay Sinclair Milan, MI Retired Teacher - Bonsai Student Prior Profession: Expertise: Accomplishments: I came into ES by accident - I was assigned to teach it, although my degree was in Biology. I had the good fortune to become involved in the Michigan Earth Science Teachers Association (MESTA). The amazing mentorship I found there made a convert of me. | REGION VI Centerpoint, IA Science Teacher Soil and soil conservation Accomplishments: Excellence in Teaching Earth Science Award, 2020
National Ag in the Classroom national awardee, 2017 ES is great because I get to take my students outside to learn. My emphasis is on locally relevant phenomena. My kids slog through farm fields, wetlands, and streams as well as talk to local farmers to understand the importance of conservation. | REGION VII Tucson, AZ HS Science Teacher (20 yrs) Expertise: Accomplishments: We need to spread the wonder that Earth provides to its future caretakers, our students | REGION VIII Position Open |
