Elsbeth Kroeber

Elise Elsbeth Kroeber (November 28, 1882 – December 3, 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 co-authored the biology textbook ''Adventures with Living Things'' used in high school biology classes. This textbook was seen as a novel approach to biology when first published in 1938.

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