It addresses the themes of racism in history and today, humans in space, and the debate about funding for space research.

Experience
I have been teaching for 15 years. I have taught Earth Science, Forensics, Anatomy, Biology, and Neurophysiology. I have experience teaching 6th grade and 10th-12th grade. I currently teach Science and Student Leadership at an alternative high school. I also serve as an in-house instructional coach.
Teaching style
My teaching style is all about inquiry, real-world connections, and students doing real thinking about content. I do not put a lot of energy into low-level activities where students simply memorize surface-level knowledge. I want students to think deeply about content and how it is relevant to them. As much as possible, I like to have students experience or model phenomena. Additionally, I am trauma-informed in my approach to building a classroom environment and choosing instructional techniques.
