Submitted by Lincoln-Way Community High School District 210 Lincoln-Way Central Human Anatomy and Physiology Medical teacher, Samantha Taylor, attended a two-day Anatomy in Clay Conference at the Field Museum in Chicago over the summer. Taylor attended the conference to meet and collaborate with other Anatomy and Physiology teachers from all over the U.S., including Texas, California, Minnesota and Tennessee. The conference combined high-schoollevel skills along with collegiate-level expertise. The conference offered a hands-on, multi-sensory clay workshop of the human anatomy. Taylor took on the role of a student by participating in learning a new way of building the body with clay. “If the hands can build it, the brain will remember it,” Taylor said. “We’ve had more students apply for a medical program than ever before. I learned a different way of working with the anatomy to bring to the classroom,” Taylor said. The workshop required participants to use models that are used in medical schools today, which Taylor described as an “amazing” experience. “It is very hard to find a means of professional development in our department, so I am very grateful for the benefits I received over this two day event,” she said. Participants at the Anatomy in Clay Conference show off their work in front of Sue the T-Rex at Chicago’s Field Museum. Photos submitted High school teachers get a chance to use clay models, like the one above, which are used in collegiate-level anatomy classes. Taylor also works with Presence St. Joseph for students to attend medical classes two times a week for 12 weeks during the school year. She continues to assist students interested in this field with methods they could not receive outside of the classroom on their own.
