About the store
I have been teaching PreAP Biology for over ten years. The school I work at uses a block system where students take four classes per semester much like college. This means I go through the material twice a year and have had twice as much time to refine activities compared to teachers who are at a traditional school.

About the store

Experience

I have been teaching PreAP Biology for over ten years. The school I work at uses a block system where students take four classes per semester much like college. This means I go through the material twice a year and have had twice as much time to refine activities compared to teachers who are at a traditional school.

Teaching style

Students need to be engaged to learn. The bulk of my teaching is meant to excite students about science and learning. Once they are hooked it is simply a matter of guiding them through the material. The activities I create are student-centered. My classroom atmosphere is one of collaboration and inclusion. I see my roll as a facilitator and tutor rather than a "sage on a stage".
