NEWS RELEASE
New Book is a Mission Statement for Science Educators
MADISON, WI, February 16, 2010-Educators, especially in science and mathematics, face extraordinary challenges promoting learning and a desire to learn in their students. Perhaps no one understands the mission of education better than Marvin Druger. A professor emeritus at Syracuse University, Druger spent 55 years teaching science, primarily introductory Biology. He shared his experiences teaching over 40,000 students in “Druger’s Notebook on Science Education,” a feature from several scientific publications, notably the Journal of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Education (JNRLSE). Now these 20+ essays have been collected in a new book, Practical Perspectives on Science Education, published by the American Society of Agronomy (ASA).
