This weekend, five of our Hobe Sound Elementary teachersโMrs. Brandt, Ms. Devoe, Ms. Dolan, Mrs. Sherman, and Coachโspent 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, Kempโs Ridley, and hawksbill. Our teachers are excited to bring what they learned back to the classroom, inspiring students to help protect Floridaโs unique ecosystems. Weโre proud to have such dedicated educators making a difference! #HSEGreenSchool #SeaTurtleConservation #STEMEducation #EvergladesChampions #InwaterResearch
