As an educational publishing company, Kendall Hunt has always been about supporting educators and administrators whenever possible.  To that end, each year we partner with National Science Education Leadership Association to present the Outstanding Administrator Support Award.  This year the award went to Dr. Ruth Ann Carr, Superintendent of the Ardmore (Oklahoma) City Schools.

Carr was chosen for her extensive efforts in sustaining the standards-based science program at Ardmore City Schools.  She has furthered the cause of process, research and inquiry based science education by improving the science labs, implementing the rigorous Oklahoma Scholars Program which requires 4 science credits for College Preparatory Curriculum (versus the state required 3 credits) for graduation, and enhancing professional development far beyond simple teacher edition textbooks to helping science teachers become science leaders in their schools.  At right is a picture of Charley Cook, Vice President of our K-12 Division, presenting the award to Dr. Carr.  Congratulations Dr. Carr!
