/*Registration is Open for Summer Courses and Funding is Now Available */

*Moorestown, N.J., June 9, 2021 – *The Knowles Teacher Initiative today 
announced that it will host four online teacher professional development 
courses this summer through the Knowles Academy 
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://knowlesteachers.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=38fc8975cf9ee4b969d121b19&id=5aba6b9423&e=40f5d739e9__;!!PhOWcWs!gZw78DpqrfmxjlDR7BNI8Z-oYdhkpwzP5sxtUeoobdq78LZvOyjYsAdw-Iz7ncuK$>. 
The Knowles Academy offers state-of-the-art professional development 
experiences that are designed for teachers by teachers.

Knowles is using the proceeds from past annual giving campaigns to 
subsidize registration fees for its online Academy courses, reducing the 
cost to $100 per course. Since launching the Knowles Academy in 2018, 
nearly 300 teachers have attended Academy courses, with more than 60 of 
those teachers receiving funding made possible by the generosity of 
donors. Visit the Knowles website

to learn more about available funding.

“Over the last year, many teachers have experienced a profound sense of 
isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” stated Jeff Rozelle

Vice President of Programs, Knowles Teacher Initiative. “Through our 
Knowles Academy online courses, we are excited to provide teachers with 
the opportunity to connect and collaborate while strengthening their 
teaching practice.” **

Jesse Braxton, a chemistry teacher at Central High School in 
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, said, “The way mathematics is woven into the 
Patterns Approach

curriculum actually makes the physics concepts more accessible, 
especially for students who have previously struggled with math. The 
training itself was enjoyable because the curriculum is fun, and I 
believe Patterns Physics will be accessible, enjoyable, and educational 
for my students.”

2021:
