Third graders as explorers
Indian Mills School teacher Lisa Abramovitz is turning third graders into explorers, thanks to her National Geographic certification.
The certification focuses on skill-building, networking and leading — helping educators generate interdisciplinary activities centered around real world problems, connecting a community of like-minded educators and granting these educators access to National Geographic programs they can use in the classroom.
To become certified, Abramovitz was required to complete a workshop designed by National Geographic, develop two activities using their framework and ultimately choosing one of those activities to submit as her capstone project.
