BRAINERD — Jennifer Klecatsky, Brainerd High School science teacher, was selected as one of 23 science, technology, engineering and math teachers statewide to join the Vernier Trendsetters Community.
This professional learning community gives teachers the opportunity to enhance their skills by developing hands-on science learning practices with data-collection technology, while connecting with and learning from fellow educators throughout the school year.
“Our new cohort of Vernier Trendsetters are true rockstars — they are passionate, innovative, and dedicated to fostering STEM literacy in their classrooms and beyond,” said Jill Hedrick, CEO of Vernier Science Education, in a news release. “We are excited to work with these teachers to help expand their professional learning and elevate the amazing work they are doing to support their science students.”
Teachers will have the opportunity to participate in and provide professional development, collaborate on content with Vernier, provide feedback on programming and new products, attend exclusive conference events and more. In addition, they may be featured nationally for their use of data-collection technology or become eligible to receive financial support to attend and present at conferences.
This is the second cohort of teachers named to the Vernier Trendsetters Community. All members share a common passion for growing in their leadership and knowledge, learning from their community and using data-collection and analysis technology to deliver modern, relevant STEM instruction.
Teachers interested in joining the Vernier Trendsetters Community can apply throughout the year, with applications accepted on a rolling basis. To learn more, visit vernier.com/trendsetters .
