Several teachers in the West Windsor-Plainsboro school district will participate in Princeton University’s “Teachers as Scholars” program. The partnership between the university and surrounding school districts was formed to provide scholarly and intellectually engaging opportunities for teachers. The program features seminars for area teachers taught by faculty and staff from the university to promote the idea of lifelong learning.
The teachers and their courses include Lisa Bremer, “Poetry of T.S. Eliot’s Personal Wasteland;” Laura Bond, “Interdisciplinary STEM Research;” Jennifer Boutros, “Contemporary American Fiction;” Kelly Perron, “Word Play;” Kerry Pross, “The Ocean’s Role in Global Warming;” Lisa Sacca, “The Story of the Hubble Space Telescope;” Tarynn Yokomizo, “Developing Visual Literary: Mannerist Paintings and Works on Paper;” and Susan Zhao, “Whither the Great Society? America After World War II.”
