Elise Elsbeth Kroeber (November 28, 1882, Manhattan –1969) was an American biology teacher for the New York Public School System[1] 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"[2] used in high school biology classes. This text book was seen as a novel approach to biology when published in 1938.[3]
Every year, the New York Biology Teachers Association awards the Elsbeth Kroeber Memorial Award to a graduating senior form the New York Public Schools.
