Lindsay —
North Central Texas College science grants coordinator Sara Flusche was recently honored at the 18th annual meeting of the Texas Regional Collaboratives (TRC) in Austin.
Flusche, who heads up the NCTC Science and Math Collaborative along with Dr. Lisa Bellows, was presented the Nita Beth Camp Award for Science.
The award was presented at the annual meeting held June 27-29 at the Renaissance Hotel in Austin.
The TRC is an award-winning network of P-16 partnerships that provide sustained, high intensity professional development to P-12 teachers of science and mathematics. Through this partnership, North Central Texas College provides training to North Texas schools through hands-on and interactive training.
The award is named for Camp, who was the founder and former project director of the Region 7 Collaborative for Excellence in Science Teaching in Kilgore. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1985. For 21 years after her diagnosis until her passing, Camp continued to be an inspiration for thousands of Texas educators and teachers.
The Nita Beth Camp Legacy Award is presented to one project director each year for embodying the positive attitude and optimism that characterized Camp, who was an inspiration to thousands of Texas educators and teachers for many years.
During the past year, Flusche has trained hundreds of teachers in the North Texas region. She and Bellows traveled to 30 training facilities, covering over 22,000 miles on weekends and during the summer months, teaching hundreds of teachers about biology and earth science through their “Road Show” program.
Puerto Rico’s educational department has also benefitted from Flusche’s expertise as she worked with them in developing their science curriculum.
In addition to Flusche’s award, the NCTC Science and Math Collaborative received the Outstanding Combined Exhibit award at the Austin conference.
