About the store
I have been teaching high school science for the past 17 years in a variety of schools, from Title 1 schools in the US to international schools in Asia and Europe.
While advanced Biology and Environmental Science courses have been my main stay, I have extensive experience working with students with all sorts of learning needs.
Many of my resources have been developed with the IB and AP student in mind, but differentiation is differentiation. These resources can be used by any one for any sort of biology or environmental science class.

I use this at the beginning of my IB DP Biology HL course to introduce evolution and natural selectio

Teaching style
All of my lessons are focused on getting students to do the thinking. I structure each day on the theory that my kids should be working at least as hard as me. They should be problem solving and working together.
I work hard to give them as many opportunities as possible to understand concepts and to synthesize their own ideas.
