On a sun-filled, warm Thursday, about a dozen Advanced Placement Environmental Science teachers trekked to Skinner Lake to work on techniques and skills for teaching AP Environmental Science courses.The R. Michael Supernault Outdoor Education Center, a District-owned, 80-acre outdoor classroom is usually the destination of District students for science education during the school year.
Among the teachers visiting the Center on Thursday, June 18, were teachers from Chicago, Illinois, New York State, and teacher Viviana Mendoza Lozano, an AP Psychology and Philosophy teacher from La Paz, Bolivia who wants to expand her teaching into environmental science.There were also a number of teachers from Genesee County school districts at the Center on Thursday. A total of 220 teachers will attend the Institute before it ends next week.
The first of two Advanced Placement Summer Institute sessions ends Friday. The second begins next week. Lapeer East High School is the host for the Institute and is the only public high school in Michigan offering a summer AP Institute. It is the second year, East has hosted the event.
