Professional Development Opportunity in Science Education

February 14, 2019

Over the summer break, I was fortunate enough to participate in a range of professional development opportunities in Graz, Austria and various locations in England. I first participated in 2 roundtable discussions at the University of Graz and met with the Graz Scientific Council. Through contacts that I made at the first roundtable, I was invited to sit in on a third in the Human Rights Institute! I then went to London to meet with the London Science Museum Academy (wow!) whereby what was scheduled to be a sit down session turned into 3 hours of discussions, experiments, demonstrations and short lectures. I then went up to Northampton to meet with 2 professors from the scientific research unit on water at Cranbourne University (world leaders on water research) and finally, all the way down to Plymouth to learn about hydrography and oceanography.

I am inspired by EAB Students every day, and, in trying to uncover evidence of success outside of the numbers, I had an idea to pick a group of Seniors and ask them, on camera, what success at EAB means to them.

Welcome to the American School of Brasilia! Whether you are a prospective student or parent, a current community member, a possible employee, or an interested onlooker, it is my pleasure to welcome you to EAB.

As the school mission states, we are committed to the academic preparation of our students, the development of inquisitiveness, ethical behavior, and service, as well as to preparing them for the ongoing opportunities and challenges the future will hold.

EAB is accredited by AdvancEd, a US regional accrediting agency. This accreditation was renewed in 2016. The school uses American curriculum standards and benchmarks with an international perspective and a college preparatory level of rigor. The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program is offered in grades 11 and 12 in order to prepare our graduates for success in their continuing education. While academic excellence is our focus, the integration of the arts, humanities, language learning, service, and athletics are closely wound into the EAB experience.
