BCEC and BCCI students act as citizen scientists to conduct a snail survey at Appalachian Highlands Science Center in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Snails are important bio-indicators on the health of the park and the surrounding region, and students helped contribute to a 20+ year longitudinal study of these important species and what they tell us about our environment.
Thanks to our curriculum coach, Rebecca Johnson, as she launched our fall staff professional development focus. Teachers will be visiting and learning from one another’s classrooms. We can’t wait to see all the great things taking place at BCEC/BCCI!
