About the store
I have taught at the high school level for 9 years now. I have experience teaching a variety of sciences, including: Forensic science, Anatomy and Physiology, Physical and Earth Science, Physics and Engineering, Earth and Space, Biology, and Physical Science.
In addition to teaching at the high school level I was also a tutor for 2.5 years. In that time I taught both ACT and SAT prep courses, general homework help. In addition to these programs I was also leading literacy, math, and science programs at varying academic levels. I also helped pilot a preschool program that taught phonics and early reading skills for children before entering pre school.
For the last 2 years I have also been one of the key writers of curriculum for a school district that is piloting Competency Based Education.

Phenomena: Creating a Testable Question
When teaching through phenomena introduction, I usually have a group activity where I have my students complete a driving question board. However, In order to encourage a better testable question, I have created this assignment that not only makes students identify the "what" of a testable question, but also the "why" of a testable question. I've used this at the start of every unit, every phenomena to reinforce what a testable question is. Can be used for distant learningIncludes: Testable qu

This product allows for collaboration for virtual classroom norms and provides examples of what not to do in a zoom classroom. There is also a google form contract/pl

Teaching style
Learning through discovery is the name of the game when it comes to using scientific practices. I use the NGSS practices to format my materials. The last two years I have used student led inquiry and interdisciplinary styles. I have also been trained using Kagan structures within the classroom.
Awards & shining teacher moments
I was nominated NHSS teacher of the year 2024.
