Specialist vs Generalist CARD SORT
This activity is a great introduction to the concept of specialists versus generalists in an ecology, ecosystems, or biodiversity unit. Students grapple with characteristics while also utilizing kinesthetic learning strategies. The vocabulary is appropriate for a general biology class but also spans the needs of a upper level biology or AP class.

Teaching style
I believe that the job of an educator is to facilitate learning experiences that provide information for students to make meaning of the world around them. My practice focuses on standards-based learning and assessment. In science I use the NGSS as the foundation to teach Biology and the AP standards to teach Environmental Science. In visual arts, I use the Washington Arts Learning Standards.
