Sandra Weitzel

Sandra Weitzel, Education and Outreach Coordinator for the North Carolina Division of Soil and Water Conservation for 23 years, has served with the NC Science Teachers Association Board for a number of years. She holds an undergraduate degree in Agronomy-Basic Science and a Master of Science degree in Soil Science with an emphasis in soil chemistry from North Carolina State University in Raleigh. Sandra has been a NC Certified Environmental Educator for more than 15 years. She is the state-wide coordinator for the Envirothon program and for the Food, Land & People program.

My goal during this period of service to you is to provide you with an Association that is dynamic and forward thinking. An Association that meets your individual needs for fellowship and professional networking. An Association that helps prepare you for the technology revolution that is happening in our society and in your classrooms.

I am looking forward to hearing from you about what you need from your NC Science Teachers’ Association. Please drop me an email anytime with your suggestions for your Association or your concerns or advice about teaching science in the classroom.

Thanks for being an educator.
