FRANK POTTENGER Awarded the Inaugural Arthur R. King Award
The Paci fic Circle Consortium (PCC) created the Arthur R. King Award for Curriculum Innovation in 2010 and recognized Frank Pottenger as its rst recipient. King was the visionary founder and long-time director of CRDG and a co-founder of the PCC, which is dedicated to international cooperation among educational research institutions in the Paci c region.
Pottenger’s work in curriculum innovation has improved teaching practice in schools across the region. He has created programs and provided professional development throughout Micronesia; codesigned PCC’s The Ocean Project; and engaged in science curriculum collaboration with colleagues in Japan, Korea, Australia, and New Zealand. More recently, he worked on cross-national civic education curriculum with colleagues in eastern Russia. “Given the breadth and scope of Frank’s work, I can’t recall a colleague, nationally or internationally in the curriculum eld, who has impacted as many nations and individuals as he has,” University of Minnesota Emeritus Professor John Cogan wrote in his nomination letter.
