                            HON. ADAM SMITH

                             of washington

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 13, 2011

  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor William 
Wilson, recipient of the Frontiers in Physiology's Online Teacher 
Professional Development Program Fellowship.
  When Mr. Wilson is not coaching high school wrestling, he is 
inspiring his students in the field of science as a teacher at Clover 
Park High School in Lakewood, Washington. His outstanding research 
proposal in the biomedical field earned him the Frontiers in 
Physiology's Online Teacher Professional Development Program 
Fellowship. Mr. Wilson will be awarded educational grants to help him 
advance his research and make improvements to Clover Park's science 
department.
  The Frontiers in Physiology program was initiated in 1990 by 10 
impassioned high school science teachers embarking on a summer research 
grant in physiology. The 10-month fellowship aims to integrate best 
practices in scientific research into middle schools and high schools, 
incorporate technology and internet-based resources to enhance 
learning, and improve classroom labs with a better understanding of the 
scientific research process. The program has been proven to enable 
teachers to advance teaching techniques and promote excellence in 
science education.
  As a dedicated and inspiring teacher, Mr. Wilson has proven to be an 
invaluable asset to the Pierce County community. The resources that Mr. 
Wilson will bring from the Online Teacher Professional Development 
Program fellowship will undoubtedly allow him to contribute more to 
Clover Park High School and the greater science community.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues in the House of Representatives 
please join me in congratulating Mr. William Wilson for receiving the 
Frontiers in Physiology Online Teacher Professional Development 
Fellowship and honoring him as a model teacher.
