Hey there! Welcome to my TpT store! 👋
I’m an experience middle school science teacher with over 25 years in the classroom, teaching in both elementary and middle school settings. I’ve spent time diving into STEM, Technology, and Robotics, and I absolutely love bringing hands-on learning and tech into the curriculum.
These days, I’m an Instructional Tech Coach and VSTE Certified Coach, helping other teachers create student-centered, tech-friendly classrooms. I’m all about inquiry-based learning—giving students the tools and space to explore, ask questions, and grow at their own pace. I’ve been passionate about designing lessons that spark curiosity ever since.
You’ll find resources here that are practical, engaging, and built to help your students think critically, solve problems, and take ownership of their learning. Mostly geared towards secondary students or upper elementary. Thanks for stopping by—I’m so glad you’re here!
