Hello! I'm a biology and chemistry teacher of 31 years, a wife, a mom, a science nerd, a nature lover, an adventurist, and a TpT seller. I love getting kids hooked on science!
I have taught Biology I, Honors Biology I, Chemistry, Honors Chemistry, Biology II, and AP Biology. In addition to teaching in the classroom for 31 years, I served as Science Supervisor for one of the largest school districts in America. I have been a state and national level curriculum consultant, science conference panelist, science competition adjudicator, and in-service presenter on numerous occasions.
Teaching style
I employ varying teaching strategies throughout the class to keep my students interested and engaged. My strength as a teacher, and my love, involves lab activities. I have my students in the lab at least twice a week, and more if possible. I strive for the "light bulb" moments when I am teaching and see that students are catching on to the concepts. The best return on this investment comes when graduated students return for a visit and tell me how much my class has helped them.
My own education history
My undergraduate degree is in Biology. I have a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction, and a Specialist's Degree in Administration.
Additional biographical information
My classroom resources are the result of 31 years of experience in teaching Biology and Chemistry. My materials are standards-based and emphasize inquiry and critical thinking skills. I offer a wide variety of materials that are rock-solid in content, are visually attractive, and best of all, are ready to be copied and passed out to your students or, in most cases, presented to them in a digital format.
