Amy Harrington, 8th grade science teacher at Bethel Middle School, will be traveling to Belize as part of the Tropical Ecology Educators of Excellence Institute. “Participants will experience several tropical habitats, including coral reefs, mangrove swamps, and rain forests. The daily program will include practical field experiences, basic biological information, and easily duplicated techniques for teaching natural sciences. During the trip, participants will provide daily updates to students in North Carolina via the Internet. This program is designed to give educators a direct experience with environments and concepts that are part of the classroom curriculum. Participants will also spend time at a Belizean school interacting with teachers and students.”
Please follow along with Amy and other educators as they experience the wonders of Belize. Students, teachers, and other community members are encouraged to leave comments and ask questions throughout the trip.
