Don't miss the new "Picture of Practice" now in the Gallery. It features the work of Jerry Russell and Vasilii Petrenko. Jerry, a veteran high school science and math teacher has been using new technologies to actively engage his students in learning for the past ten years. Vasilii Petrenko, also an experienced science teacher, worked with Jerry while studying the Teaching for Understanding framework as a graduate student. Together, they created a Water Quality Unit that was successful from both the students' and the teachers' points of view.
