Western Washington University Professor of Geology Scott Linneman has been named the state’s Higher Education Science Teacher of the Year by the Washington Science Teachers Association.
Linneman, who has taught at Western since 2000, received the award at the National Science Teachers Association conference in Seattle on Dec. 8.
“This is really affirming of the work so many teachers at Western do,” Linneman said in a press release. “I put a lot of work into my teaching. I work to incorporate a lot of field experiences that demand extra time from both myself and the students — but it’s worth it.”
