Science Teacher Selected for Honeywell Green Boot Camp
Joe Blizzard, a sixth grade science teacher at Tanglewood Middle School, has been selected to attend the 2015 Honeywell Green Boot Camp in San Diego June 21-25. He will be among 55 teachers worldwide who will participate in this one-of-a-kind environmental science and sustainability education program.
Green Boot Camp is a professional development program designed for teachers who want to learn new and innovative techniques for integrating topics such as energy conservation, climate change and renewable resources into the classroom. During the five-day workshop, teachers will learn how to teach and inspire students to become more environmentally aware and will be equipped with tools and materials that will help them deliver the lessons in relevant, impactful ways. Honeywell Hometown Solutions, the company’s corporate citizenship initiative, is paying for tuition, room and board.
Mr. Blizzard has taught at Tanglewood Middle for nine years.
