Testimonials

Based on many things I learned through a number of mentoring sessions with Amy I was able to make some major revisions to my weather unit for 8th grade Earth Science. After she introduced me to several real-time weather web sites I also had a weather station installed on the roof of my school building. My new weather unit was a success as students were able to correlate what they were experiencing in their daily lives with data. Amy has been such a great help in pushing my understanding of atmospheric phenomena which definitely helped my students understand the concepts better than they had in previous years. With the new knowledge gained I feel much more prepared to teach the revised academic science standards here in Minnesota.

WOW!! Attending the workshop Dr. Lilienfeld gave on the use of the U.S.D.A./N.R.C.S. web-based Geographic Information System, the Web Soil Survey, at the 2023 Annual Conference of the Michigan Science Teachers' Association was a great experience! I feel very confident now in using this program with my students! Amy is highly professional and has a wealth of knowledge. Using Web Soil Survey in the classroom will give students the opportunity to explore real life experiences for future productive and stable job opportunities. Thanks so much for all you are doing for teachers and students!
