Teachers Helping Fellow Teachers and Students

Greg Fisher works with Mount Tabor students

 
In the May 17 issue of the Winston-Salem Journal, reporter Travis Fain writes about Greg Fisher, who teaches at Mount Tabor High School, and Wendy Bartlett, who teaches at Parkland Magnet High School. They each received a Career Award for Science and Mathematics Teachers from the Burroughs Wellcome Fund that is worth $175,000 over five years. 

The fund established the awards to honor outstanding teachers and to give them the resources not only to develop individually but also to help their schools, districts and communities.Fisher and Bartlett are using their grants to support the teaching of math and science in the school system by buying technology for classrooms and by providing training for fellow teachers.


Journal photographers David Rolfe and Andrew Dye took the pictures. For the complete story, go to http://www2.journalnow.com/news/2012/may/16/1/local-teachers-win-big-grants-commit-to-classroom--ar-2285628/
