Founding teachers at the Harbor School, Roy and Ann introduce land-locked, underperforming students to New York waterways. In a course they invented, students explore the Hudson, Harlem, Bronx, and East Rivers, the Gowanus Canal, Newtown Creek and various marshlands and estuaries. In the process, students discover they can measure the properties of water, identify plant and animal life, sail boats and write about their observations. The course prepares students for disciplined high school work in all subjects.Committed, strict and passionate, these teachers help their students become focused, confident and ready to engage in education, work and the world around them
