About the store
As a former professional aquarist/biologist, I took my skills into the classroom to teach Marine Biology, Zoology, Aquarium Science, and Kinesiology. By allowing students the opportunity to get hands on with animals, I feel it greatly enhanced their engagement, motivation, reliability, and communication.

NASA Icebreaker Exercise
This is a great exercise to use first: as an individual student, but secondly: in small groups of 2-4. The first section is to see how an individual student would rank 15 items from most important (1) to least important (15) as instructed. Once the individual portion is complete, students are placed into small groups (2-4) to complete the same task, but as a group. Follow the instructions provided. The answer key, reasoning, and ranking is provided.

Experience

Teaching style
I teach grades 9-12 and I believe in a mix of text/lesson type classes and hands on/activity based classes. I like to implement small projects and paperwork that build together to create a larger project by the end of a semester. I'm strict but firm in the classroom.
Awards & shining teacher moments
I enjoy the past student "drop by's" , emails, and messages regarding their success in life and how impactful the hands on classes were for them while in high school.
My own education history
I have a Bachelor's of Science in Biology with an Environmental Science Minor and a Master's in Education Technology.
