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 Ms. Cox’s tuition, room and board.
Ms. Cox has taught middle school science for six years. She earned a bachelor’s degree in elementary education and master’s degree in middle level science from Converse College.
