Congratulations to Scott Eldredge, a 10th grade biology teacher at Century High School in Pocatello, ID. Mr. Eldredge has been awarded a $250 New Classroom Start-Up Grant from Northwest Professional Educators (NWPE), the state’s only non-union professional teacher association. Ms. Charlotte Shearer presented the grant on behalf of NWPE at a school staff meeting. The award will fund the purchase of laboratory supplies to enhance student achievement in science. Mr. Eldredge described one of the challenges of being a first year teacher in his application. "I walked into an empty classroom. I'm working as hard as I possibly can to make Biology interesting and meaningful for my students. I could use many basic supplies in order to run effective and meaningful labs that will allow my students to make sense of the ideas and concepts I'm teaching. This $250 dollars would be spent on supplies to improve the educational experience within my classroom."
