Teacher Recognition

Ms. Charlotte Trout, Williamsport High School in Washington County, Maryland, was selected as the inaugural 2007 Verona Computational Science Teacher Leader Award winner for her exemplary use of computer-based models, simulations, and visualizations to enhance student learning in the K-12 classroom and her active participation in sharing computational science strategies and methods with others. The award was announced at the SC07 Education Program in Reno, Nevada on November 10, 2007.
