Ken and Myra have spent a career involving students in the natural system which supports our social systems. Their students enjoy learning about the physical, chemical and biological basis of their environment. Classroom experiences are linked with field trips, labs and interviews.
Kids get their understanding through hands on learning.
The imagination and commitment displayed by this focused couple have attracted attention and recognition from their education colleagues in the Lake Superior basin. In 1997, Ken and Myra helped organize the Lake Superior Youth Symposium in conjunction with the International Joint Commission on the Great Lakes and the Binational Forum on Lake Superior. White Pines High School was the site for this international symposium that included hands on learning for both students and adults. Ken and Myra have continued to challenge their students by bringing together students from different parts of the Lake Superior basin. In this way they hope to expand the learning of their students.
