Yolanda Morales loves to learn and the Treasure Valley Community College instructor secured a golden opportunity to gain more knowledge after she participated in an ocean research program — dubbed Teachers at Sea — designed to help teachers improve their abilities in the areas of math and science by providing them real-world experiences in the field.
Now, Morales is sharing her new knowledge in her classes and with other teachers. “I love to learn,” Morales said. “I like to be busy.” Morales recently returned from a 16-day trip on the research vessel New Horizon, where she worked with scientists doing research along the Oregon and Washington coast and the lower part of the Columbia River.  |
