The biology teachers from Eastie took a field trip to Harvard today to be trained in the PTC PCR lab with Alia. The lab is funded by the Amgen Biotech Experience. Teachers from AP Biology, honors biology, regular biology, SEI biology, SpEd biology, special topics, and our biotech pathway were all represented. We can't wait to try the lab with our students!

12 dedicated science teachers spent their Saturday morning and Saturday afternoon engaged in content professional development expanding their biotech skills and how to apply that knowledge base into their classroom instruction. We want to thank the Bioteach instructors for an awesome Saturday learning at Eastie where Class Pride and Tradition through science happens each and every day. Scott Hubeny is currently involved in the Wipro Science Education Fellowship (https://www.umb.edu/cosmic/projects/wipro_science_education_fellowship)
His work through this grant is two-fold. Mr. Hubeny is working alongside the Boston Science Department leadership to help navigate district’s transition to the new MA science standards, investigating current and new curriculum and resources as well as possible partnerships and the opportunities they may bring to BPS. Through the Wipro grant Mr. Hubeny is also creating a book purposed to help novice teachers learn from the experiences of seasoned educators and avoid common pitfalls many encounter in the teaching practice. This work will showcase the stories of veteran teachers from across the nation and utilizes Scott’s cartooning talent as well. Visit http://180dayz.com/180dayz-new-teacher-book/ for more details about this exciting project and browse his site www.180dayz.com to see samples of his work. Congratulations to Ms. Amanda Dillingham for winning a Private Industry Council achievement award! Ms. Dillingham wowed the crowd with a speech about how the combination of biotechnology and career guidance in the classroom changes students' lives.
We are so proud of all of our students who completed biotechnology internships and we are so proud of Ms. Dillingham! EBHS's own Mr. George DeGregorio was featured in an article about his work at the BU photonics center.
Congratulations Mr. DeGregorio! www.bu.edu/today/2015/boston-university-photonics-center-programs-promote-diversity-in-stem-fields/ |
