About the store
The 2021-22 school year is my 9th year of teaching. I teach AP Biology (since my first year!), introductory Biology, Anatomy and Physiology, and I have designed a half-year course that focuses on how human diseases can be caused by genetic mutations, hormone imbalances, and environmental factors.

Crime Scene Victims - Practice Using Anatomical Regions and Directions
This is a fun activity I use to get students to practice using anatomical region and direction terms. Each person or team is secretly given a sheet with wounds marked on a simple drawing of a body (I use the same diagram found on this sheet so it's consistent). Each student or team then has to write a detailed description of the wound patterns (what they are and where they are!). After that is finished, another student or team will receive the written description and will have to redraw the woun

Experience
The 2021-22 school year is my 9th year of teaching. I teach AP Biology (since my first year!), introductory Biology, Anatomy and Physiology, and I have designed a half-year course that focuses on how human diseases can be caused by genetic mutations, hormone imbalances, and environmental factors.
Teaching style
I teach through activities as often as I can. Lecture can get boring so quickly, so I also incorporate movement breaks, discussion questions, and mini-activities into my lectures. I have also taken to recording my lectures through Screencastify to post them ahead of time for students to listen to. This has been working amazingly well in my AP Biology classes, so I highly recommend it if you can flip your classroom this way!

My own education history
I graduated from UMass Amherst with my B.S. in Biology in 2012. I went back to UMass immediately to complete an intensive Master's program for my M.Ed. in one year. I student taught at a high school in the area for nearly the entire year, so I left the program with a Master's, 8 months of experience, and a full-time job in another district.
I have since taken many graduate classes in both education (e.g., SEI certification, Autism Spectrum Disorder awareness course) as well as life science specific content (e.g., AP Biology teacher courses, virology, teaching climate change).
