Teacher takes flight to inspire STEM students

WINCHESTER — Good teachers inspire students to pursue their dreams. Great teachers show them how to do it. A federal grant issued last year to Winchester Public Schools is making it possible for John Kerr and Quarles elementary school teachers to gain real-world insights into the aviation industry so, instead of just telling their students to reach for the sky, they can help them get there. On Thursday morning, John Kerr first-grade teacher Cathryn Glavis hopped into a Cessna 172 Skyhawk at Winchester Regional Airport to learn first-hand about aerodynamics, lift, drag, elevation, instrumentation, mathematics, communications and everything else that goes along with flying a small plane. She can now show a video of the flight to her students and integrate her experience into aviation-related lesson plans.
