  • Why is the work of the Environmental Literacy Council important to you?
    Many times teachers are awash or at sea with a need for an organized source of science information that is easily accessible. I think ELC is the island of science-based material teachers are looking for regarding environmental issues.

  • What are you working on right now?
    I am finishing the design for a graduate course entitled "Basic Elements of Science Teaching."

  • Favorite class when you were a kid? Earth Science
  • Last book you read? A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking
