Suellen DiMassimo, a Math Specialist at Carver Magnet Elementary, has been selected to attend the 2010 Mickelson ExxonMobil Teachers Academy! This year’s Academy is scheduled for July 18 - 23 at the Liberty Science Center in Jersey City, N.J. The selection panel based their decision on teachers' qualifications, dedication to inspiring students at an early age and overall commitment to enhancing the teaching profession.
The Mickelson ExxonMobil Teachers Academy was launched in 2005 to provide 3rd- through 5th-grade teachers the tools to enhance curricula, an opportunity to network with other educators and discover innovative ways to teach math and science to students. Since its launch, more than 2,000 teachers have attended the Academy and shared their experiences with more than 40,000 students nationwide.
Suellen is excited about attending this program. "I will be working and learning with the best math and science teachers from around the country," she said. "I look forward to bringing this knowledge back to Carver Magnet and incorporating it into our curriculum."
