Juanice Woodall, anatomy and physiology
teacher at Southside High School in Atlanta Public Schools, took
advantage of this opportunity to develop curricula and logistics
for a new Health Science and Engineering Academy at the school.
As Academy Leader, Woodall was responsible for the
development of all components of the academy, from course and materials
selection to staff development and student recruitment. Woodall
spent many hours researching and contacting schools across the country
for advice on best practices. She recruited individuals from the
American Red Cross and the Emory First Responders Unit EMS to teach
a CPR class. She negotiated summer internships and guest speakers
from the Morehouse School of Medicine. She reviewed various textbooks
and developed course syllabi for each academy class that would be
offered. She even planned lessons for the academy classes so that
the teachers she recruited could be better prepared to take on this
new responsibility.
