                        Monday, October 21, 2019

  Mr. KIM. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the Knowles Teacher 
Initiative of Moorestown, New Jersey, for their 20 years of work 
developing teachers that transform math and science education for 
students across the United States.
  Established in 1999 by Janet H. and C. Harry Knowles, the Knowles 
Teacher Initiative supports a network of math and science teachers 
nationwide in expanding innovative practices and teaching expertise. 
Through their programs like the Knowles Teaching Fellows Program and 
the Knowles Senior Fellows Program, Knowles brings in early-career high 
school math and science teachers to aid in their professional 
development and create a lasting network of highly qualified educators 
across the country.
  Over their 20 years serving our nation's teachers, Knowles has 
supported more than 400 Fellows who have taught math and science to 
more than 250,000 students. There is no doubt that the Knowles Teacher 
Initiative has made a lasting impact in not only the lives of the 
educators that took part in their fellowships, but also the students 
that have benefitted from the high-quality instruction stemming from 
Knowles programs.
  I commend the Knowles Teacher Initiative for the important work they 
have done to help to provide development opportunities for our nation's 
math and science teachers. I'm proud to support their work and look 
forward to many impactful years to come.
