	Biographical Information:
	Lisa Beth Moore received her B.S. in Geology in 1993. She has worked for the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation as an outdoor interpreter, adjunct lecturer of astronomy at SUNY Plattsburgh and an instructor for the local BOCES Starlab planetarium. She currently holds the position of Associate Director of the Northcountry Planetarium while completing her Masters of Liberal Studies in administration and astronomy education. She has thoroughly enjoyed her involvement in astronomy education over the last six years and hopes to continue this endeavor. Over the past few months I have been attempting to develop a new course in astronomy and space science for our college's elementary education majors. As those in the business, we all have experienced and know of the profound fascination children have for astronomy and space. My first goal is to strongly advocate to our pre-service teachers that astronomy and space science are ideal mediums to teach interdisciplinary math, science and technology curricula - especially at the elementary education level. My hope is not only to impart subject content and the usual factual trivia, but also to again awaken that natural youthful enthusiasm we all had for astronomy. Past the preliminary development stage, my next hurdle is to convince the administration of its pertinent necessity for future teachers' preparatory education. Wish me luck! Oh, nearly halfway through my first year's ambassadorship, my partner and I took a couple of weeks to travel through the Virgin Islands. We had spectacular weather, a fantastic view of the stars from the mid-teen latitudes and a wonderfully magical wedding on Hawksnest Beach, St. John!
