How Do We Restore Aspen Forests?
Students work with forestry land managers and scientists to evaluate and support aspen forest populations. Engaging interactives will promote observation skills and draw out prior knowledge as students learn how to assess the health of aspen forests. They will gather their own evidence and use the USDA's guidelines for Aspen Restoration to develop recommendations for their chosen study site.

About the store
Experience
Over 50 years of collective education experience- essentially the "Gandalfs of Teaching". We love to try new things and pass along what we learned (generally the hard way). We work as district science specialists.
Teaching style
Teaching hands-on, solving real life problems, supporting students as they build their skills, adding a dash of humor along the way.
Awards & shining teacher moments
We teach a few kindergarten classes a year- it's like facing your biggest fears while being watched by 30 small curious humans. Anyone who teaches kindergarteners deserves a Medal of Honor- presented for those who distinguish themselves “through conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty”.
My own education history
We both have Bachelor's Degrees in education and Master's Degrees in Curriculum and Instructional Design. We have endorsements aplenty- including instructional coaching, ESL, ELA and science to name a few.
Additional biographical information
We're just your run of the mills over-achievers who love to take risks and providing teachers with resources to make teaching a smidge easier.
