His work with teachers and schools goes beyond professional development workshops and institutes to include phone-call-help to local teachers, science assemblies at local schools, lending equipment and resources, and visiting school classrooms to work directly with teachers and students. Prigo was recognized in 1991 as ""Vermont Professor of the Year"" by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education." Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
