Phil Mickelson does more than just golf.

He works with teachers too. In partnership with the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) and Math Solutions, the Mickelson ExxonMobil Teachers Academy brought 200 teachers from around the country to a five-day seminar focused on math and science. The goal is to give teachers new tools, ideas and networking opportunities.

"Ninety percent of our fastest-growing jobs now require two years of college, and most of those jobs require aptitude in math and science," said Education Secretary Margaret Spellings, who spoke at one of the sessions. "We have to become more math and science literate."

Participation in the academy is free, funded by ExxonMobil and contributions from the Mickelsons.

Are there any Washington teachers out there who have attended this academy or heard about? Curious to know how useful it is for folks.
