The Fund for RE & Faculty Development

Our shared commitment to faculty development ensures that RE continues to deliver on its educational mission.

Ransom Everglades teachers embrace lifelong learning, welcoming opportunities to attend conferences and seminars or pursue advanced study in their fields. These investments benefit our entire community – including their current and future students and colleagues. 
Middle School

1️⃣ Stamps Family Science Building: “Being able to complete my Master of Science in Natural Science Education from Colorado State University has helped me become a better teacher in and out of the classroom. In my final semester of graduate school, I created a project with my sixth-grade Integrated Science 1 class where we studied heat and humidity on the middle school campus. We used iButton Thermochrons to collect data over the course of three months. The students then presented our research at our annual Climate Symposium. The following school year, I was able to present our project at the National Science Teacher Association Conference on Science Education.”

Upper School

1️⃣ Ludington Hall: “I have benefited personally from our faculty support program through the Phillips Exeter Humanities Institute (PEHI). I traveled to Exeter to learn more about a teaching strategy known as the Harkness method. The Harkness method is a discussion style of teaching that is led by the students with guidance from the teacher. For six days, I learned from the leading experts in the field of Harkness discussion, and their guidance has been instrumental in helping me implement more Harkness conversations into my United States History classes at Ransom Everglades School.”
