LEF
PROUDLY ANNOUNCES OUR 2009 SUMMER FELLOWS
Eight teachers from Lexington Public Schools have received mini-grants
of up to $4000 to attend conferences and workshops and participate
in research programs. These educational opportunities will enhance
their teaching and enliven their classrooms.
Here’s what LEF Summer Fellows will be studying:
Maria
Azeredo
Christine Maestri
Lisa Williams
Fiske Elementary School
Mary Yardley
Harrington Elementary School
The teachers will take part in training in Lucy Calkins writing
instruction, one of the programs used by LPS. This program was initially
brought to the LPS through an LEF summer fellowship in 2006 and
implemented in classrooms the following year.
Lynn
Taber
Bowman Elementary School
Ms. Taber will attend the National School Nurse Association
Conference to study the current research on school nursing.
Carolyn
Shield
Clarke Middle School
Ms. Shield will attend and present professional development
workshops at the National Marine Educators Conference in California.
Joan
Yarmovsky
Diamond Middle School
Ms. Yarmovsky will take part in immersion in French
studies at the BLS School in Bordeaux, France, and visit cultural
sites pertinent to curriculum development.
Ceanne
Tzimopoulos
Lexington High School
Ms. Tzimopoulos will attend training in AP labs at
the Advanced Placement Institute for Biology in Vermont in preparation
for teaching the AP/Honors Biology course at Lexington High School.
In some
rare instances, grants are awarded but subsequently returned by
teachers who are unable to use their grants for personal or other
reasons. While, for accurate accounting purposes, we include such
grant amounts in the total dollar amount reported, we do not list
the descriptions of those grants on our website or in our reports.
