“I am honored to win the award —being recognized by people who I truly admire is overwhelming,” said Katharine "Courtney" Macdonald, JD '08.
The POGIL Project named two educators winners of its Early Achievement (PEACH) Award. The award, given annually to one post-secondary and one secondary winner, honors POGIL practitioners who are new to The Project, who have distinguished themselves by advancing the goals of The Project, and who have an exceptional level of enthusiasm for active learning. Other criteria include leadership in The Project, active participation in disseminating the POGIL pedagogy, and other services to The Project, such as workshop facilitation, authorship of activities, and participation in grant proposals.
"We are thrilled to honor these two outstanding members of the POGIL community with the POGIL Early Achievement Award," said Project Executive Director Rick Moog. "Both Courtney and Joan have made a big impact on The Project and have been instrumental in our growth and success in the past several years."
