About the store
I have been in education for over 30 years. I started out teaching science to elementary school level students and continued this for over 10 years. I moved to middle school science and have continued my career teaching a blended science program as well as high school physical science to 8th graders.
My career also includes mentoring new teachers, sharing best practices, leading groups of science teachers (as a department leader and as a professional learning committee leader), an academic science coach, and staff developer. I have a special interest in curriculum and instruction and was awarded my EdD in 2023.
I am excited to have this opportunity to share what has worked and what is currently working to help my students achieve and become life long critical thinkers.

Teaching style
I believe students need to experience content and not memorize content. Students need to have experiences to build upon future experiences. The classroom should be a learning community where the students are active learners and teachers are coaching them, not instructing them. We experience life on a daily basis and that is what learning is about.
