Elsbeth Kroeber

Elise Elsbeth Kroeber (November 28, 1882, in Manhattan, New York, New York – 1969) was an American biology teacher for the New York Public School System who created a general biology curriculum for high school known as "The Kroeber Curriculum".

Kroeber also co-authored the biology textbook "''Adventures of Living Things''" used in high school biology classes. This text book was seen as a novel approach to biology when published in 1938.

Every year, the New York Biology Teachers Association awards the Elsbeth Kroeber Memorial Award to a graduating senior form the New York Public Schools. Provided by Wikipedia
