Society donates Science News to 7 Washington, DC high schools
91导航 & the Public held its first-ever end of the year campaign in 2016. Society staff members raised a total of $3,500, which allowed us to bring the Science News in High Schools program to seven schools in the Washington, DC area, including: Ballou High School, Benjamin Banneker Academic High School, Columbia Heights Education Campus (CHEC), Eastern High School, H.D. Woodson Senior High School, McKinley Technology High School, and Wilson High School.
CHEC Principal Maria Tukeva wrote, 鈥淭hank you so much for this resource, which will increase our ability to make Common Core-aligned reading and writing an integral part of our Science courses.鈥�
The Society launched the聽Science News聽in High Schools program in September 2015, as part of a larger commitment to create a more scientifically literate society.聽The program’s goal is to transform how students and educators are asked to interact with science in the classroom by providing them with real-world examples and information.
You can 聽an entire school for the聽Science News in High Schools program for $500. This contribution will provide:
- Delivery of 10 print copies to each high school, addressed to science teachers and librarians.
-
Login access for entire high school to the聽Science News聽website.
-
An online teacher’s guide with discussion questions for each issue, to help teachers incorporate the content into their lesson plans and curriculum.
