CHESTERFIELD – Chester resident and Cosby High teacher Anne Canipe has been named the 2016 American Geographical Society Teacher Fellow of the American Geographical Society (AGS). Canipe is one of 50 teachers selected from across the United States to participate in this first-year program.
Ms. Canipe teaches Advanced Placement (AP) human geography and World History I honors, as well as medical law and ethics for Cosby High’s Health Science Specialty Center.
She has been teaching with Chesterfield County Schools since 1992, and her career has spanned 39 years. As part of the award for being selected as a teacher fellow, Canipe will attend the AGS Fall Symposium, Geography 2050: Envisioning a Sustainable Planet, Nov. 17-18 at Columbia University in New York City. The symposium will enable the teacher fellows to gain valuable cutting edge content knowledge and awareness of the real-world geographic workplace skills demanded by today’s geospatial companies.
