Dr. Peggy Harris Willcuts, Ed.D.
Noted Science Curriculum Specialist for Washington State,
Recipient of the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science Teaching.
Combine a knowledgeable, committed, caring individual with a passion for science education and you’ve got Peggy. Applying her hands-on, experiential teaching methods, she captures the interest and admiration of her students and helps them to gain outstanding academic achievement.
We had asked Peggy to evaluate our curriculum and make suggestions for improvement; we recieved more than we expected when she extended her personal endorsement, and said we should make it available to a greater audience.
Excerpts from Peggy’s vision for science education in Washington State:
“I have the vision that we could empower each student to become a scientifically literate person – someone who has an understanding of science and the nature of science such that it allows them excitement and passion for the world around them.”
“I feel that a true understanding of science will enhance the opportunities for all students to hold meaningful and productive jobs in the future.”
“The business community continuously reminds us of the need for entry-level workers with the ability to think creatively, work collaboratively, reason, and solve problems.”
