Thomas Edison TeachersThis project was possible because of the collective efforts of the educators at Thomas Edison Elementary School. Students' ideas, research, writing, performances, artwork, videography and peer leadership was supported from beginning to end by dedicated professionals who helped them hone their skills and prepare their thoughts to be shared with the public.
There are a few teachers who went above and beyond the call to help students bring these ideas to life. |
Jillian Richard Jill Richards is the reading specialist at Thomas Edison. She worked with teams of students after they had interviewed innovators. She helped the students make sense of the sometimes very technical and complex ideas, and ultimately to write meaningfully about their experience as interviewers.
