The Ohio Academy of Science initiated this educational partnership program in cooperation with The Office of the Governor and the Ohio Department of Education to recognize schools and teachers who stimulate student scientific research and extend science education opportunities beyond traditional classroom activities. The Technology Division of The Ohio Department of Development has supported this program since 1985 by grants to The Ohio Academy of Science
"Receiving a Governor's Award for Excellence sends a clear signal that these schools and teachers value student-originated, inquiry-based science education as outlined in the Ohio Science Education Standards and in the National Science Education Standards," said Lynn Elfner, the Academy's CEO. "Whole new worlds of opportunities open up to students when they complete research projects," he continued. |
