Just cuz we missed #teachertuesday doesn't mean we're gonna skip celebrating 2021 Educator Innovation Award winner Vals Liu! Drop some claps in the comments to help us tell him congrats 👏👏👏 Our Educator Innovation Awards recognize teachers or program coordinators who bring the Ocean Awareness Contest into their classrooms (IRL or virtually), empowering their students to speak up and stand up for our blue planet 🌍 📣 Our 2021 Ocean Awareness Contest theme, Water Rising, focused not just on the ocean, but on water in its many forms, asking young artists what stories need to be told to protect this precious element 💧 Vals was nominated by three of his students who all talked about his strong commitment to teaching how to use art to spotlight ocean and marine wildlife threats. He created lesson plans and gave his students different resources to help them keep up with their art-making skills and better understand ocean issues.
