This weekend, five of our Hobe Sound Elementary teachers—Mrs. Brandt, Ms. Devoe, Ms. Dolan, Mrs. Sherman, and Coach—spent their Saturday learning about marine conservation with the Inwater Research Group. Through the Exploring Authentic Conservation Education: Teachers as Ambassadors for Change workshop, offered by the FAU-Stiles-Nicholson STEM Teacher Academy, they gained hands-on experience with real-world conservation efforts. The Everglades is home to several threatened and endangered species of sea turtles, including the loggerhead, green, leatherback, Kemp’s Ridley, and hawksbill. Our teachers are excited to bring what they learned back to the classroom, inspiring students to help protect Florida’s unique ecosystems. We’re proud to have such dedicated educators making a difference! #HSEGreenSchool #SeaTurtleConservation #STEMEducation #EvergladesChampions #InwaterResearch
