Teaching style
I am all about student-driven, inquiry-based learning in the science classroom (that is PRACTICAL and ENJOYABLE for YOU as the teacher!). The NGSS standards are wonderful in so many ways, but they can often feel very lofty, leaving you feeling like you aren't doing enough for your students in class. Let's change that. My goal is to make the NGSS standards both exciting and attainable for you in the science classroom. And even more importantly, my hope is that you will gain enough confidence to start creating your own exciting NGSS-aligned resources... Because we ALL know that, at the end of the day, it's the homecooked lessons that are always the best ;)
