24 Science Teachers Recognized for Finding Innovative Ways to Deliver Quality Lab Experiences to Students
MCLEAN, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#NSTA–Twenty-four science teachers have been named regional winners in the annual Shell Science Lab Regional Challenge. Sponsored by Shell USA, Inc. (Shell) and administered by the National Science Teaching Association (NSTA), the competition encouraged K–12 teachers who have found innovative ways to deliver quality lab experiences with limited school and laboratory resources to share their approaches for a chance to win a school science lab makeover support package.
“These science teachers have implemented remarkable science programs, providing high-quality lab experiences for their students with very little resources, often using their own funds,” said Erika Shugart, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer at NSTA. “Now they have the chance to build the lab of their dreams. We commend all of the regional winners for their creativity, resourcefulness and commitment to their students.”
To enter the Shell Science Lab Regional Challenge, K–12 science teachers located in select school districts near Shell assets were asked to describe their school’s current laboratory resources, explain why laboratory upgrade support is needed, and describe their approach to science education instruction using their school’s current lab facilities. A panel of science educators then reviewed and selected the top entries. The elementary-level regional winners each receive a school science lab makeover support package valued at $15,000, and middle and high school–level regional winners receive a school science lab makeover support package valued at $20,000.
The regional winners now advance to the national phase of the competition, where they will have a chance to win an additional $5,000 of support to attend a future NSTA National Conference. All national winners will be honored during a special evening celebration during the conference.
