As one of fifteen teachers across the country chosen for the Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellowship, an Anchorage physics teacher will spend a year in Washington, D.C. working on national education policy.
“They need people who can do science and math and technology, and so they want to make sure that students are getting a good, strong education and are being encouraged to go into those fields,” she said.
“We’ve caught up a lot in the biology areas and health medicine, but we have not caught up in physics and in engineering,” she said. Childress wants other teachers to know they can apply for national programs, too. She said it’s important for students to see their teachers continue to learn and try new things.
