Sharing Knowledge with a New Generation

Educator classes at Stone Lab don’t just give teachers new ideas for the classroom. For some, that first Stone Lab experience encourages them to expand their lessons beyond the traditional school setting, and may take them farther away from it than they ever expected.

Scott Hoff, a high school teacher at Bluffton Schools in northwestern Ohio, was introduced to Stone Lab 22 years ago, as a first-year teacher. “A colleague at Eastwood Schools, where I was teaching at the time, said ‘Scott, you should really consider this,’” Hoff remembers. “I signed up for graduate school at Bowling Green, and getting to go to Stone Lab was part of it. It absolutely changed my life.”
