Ms. Jennifer Bourgeault
Welcome
Jennifer Bourgeault is the United States Country Coordinator for the GLOBE Program (April 2013-present) and Coordinator of the NH GLOBE Partnership (2005) through the Leitzel Center. She has been with GLOBE since 1997 when she was recruited as a science classroom teacher to become part of the GLOBE Land Cover/Biology Team at the University of New Hampshire (UNH). She also worked with the GLOBE Carbon Cycle Team to assist with curriculum development and the training of those materials.
Jen joined NHEET in 2002, a group of NH science education professionals coordinating other national science and education programs. This team was created to leverage the environmental (education and sciences) programs and personnel in the state to compete for larger and more effective grants, offer longer and more in-depth workshops, connect to the other national programs beyond the state level and complete ambitious projects. The group consists of the coordinators and key personnel of the NH GLOBE Partnership, NH Project Learning Tree, Project WET through the NH Department of Environmental Services, the USDA Forest Service Conservation Education Division, UNH Cooperative Extension Forest Stewardship Program and the NH Fish and Game Education Department (Projects WILD and HOME specifically). One of the most ambitious projects of this group was a 2007 version of the Scope and Sequence for Building Vertical Science Literacy. This is used by schools and districts across the state as a model when writing K-12 science curriculum. The document is now updated to reflect connections with the Next Generation Science Standards (2017 version).
Jen continues to provide science professional development for informal and formal educators; including individual K-12 teachers, schools and districts. This work is primarily funded through state MSP funds awarded to NHEET. In addition to GLOBE, her other areas of expertise include inquiry, field investigations, and science notebooks and she has facilitated discussions and work-groups of schools engaged in vertical alignment of the science curriculum. In order to do this effectively, she is trained in the Concerns-Based Adoption Model (CBAM) and in the creation of Innovation Configuration (IC) maps for the science classroom.
