Teaching style
My teaching style is student-centered and hands-on, with a strong focus on real-world application and active learning. I design classroom-tested, STAAR-aligned science resources that support critical thinking, provide clear scaffolding, and keep students engaged. All this while also saving teachers time with low-prep, easy-to-implement materials.
