Caroline Courter, a teacher at Gregory Elementary School of Math, Science and Technology, has selected to participate in the 2014-15 Science Master Teacher Project.
Courter is among 65 science teachers from across the country selected for the program, which will bring together like-minded educators to collaboratively create online, accessible lesson plans, according to a press release from the school district.
Following the success of the Math and English/Language Arts (ELA) phase of the Master Teacher Project, BetterLesson and the National Education Association will provide free access to the richness of Master Teachers’ curriculum and practice to every teacher, according to a release from New Hanover County Schools. By the fall of the 2014-15 school year, the combined efforts of math, ELA and science Master Teachers are slated to produce over 15,000 classroom lessons for use by educators nationwide.
