EA faculty and staff had the pleasure of learning and working with Dr. Eric Mazur, Harvard University’s Balkanski Professor of Physics and Academic Dean of Applied Sciences and Engineering and a renowned educational innovator, during a professional development day on Friday, March 24.
"Reflecting on lockdown teaching, I was struck that while it is essentially no one's preferred mode of operation, asynchronous instruction does have its advantages," explained Upper School Science Teacher Dan Baxter.
