Additional biographical information
Hi! We are Gen and Zoe, two environmental science teachers living and teaching in Los Angeles, California. We love hands-on, interactive, student-centered learning anchored in real-world phenomena that centers environmental/social justice. We center our teaching around the communities in which we teach, so you'll find some products that are specific to Los Angeles in our store. In our own classrooms, we strive for project-based learning by having students work towards a culminating goal multimedia project at the end of each unit! We post everything from one-day lessons to full unit plans. We love making visually appealing products that are ready to use and easy to understand. From our own experience, we know that the best products develop through fruitful collaboration, and we love working together to share our lessons, developed with love, with all of you! Feel free to contact us with any questions, comments, or requests! We love to read your feedback :)
