Ana Moctezuma has been selected to attend the NASA Johnson Space Center Pre-Service Teacher Institute to be held in July of 2010. Ana graduated this spring with a Bachelor’s degree of Interdisciplinary Studies with an EC-4 Bilingual Generalist Concentration and will represent the College of Education at this prestigious event.

The Pre-Service Teacher Institute is a two-week summer residential session for Early Childhood and Elementary Education majors preparing to teach in an elementary or middle school classroom. College students from diverse backgrounds will spend a dynamic and exciting time at NASA/Johnson Space Center where they are exposed to aerospace, mathematics and science enrichment activities. Pre-service teachers are able to interface with NASA personnel, and tour Johnson Space Center facilities while learning to incorporate NASA's cutting-edge research into lesson plans for elementary and intermediate school students.
