My love and enthusiasm for science led me to becoming a science teacher. My science classes incorporate 21st Century Skills, specifically the integration of technology and collaboration. I utilize research based and data driven teaching methods, such as, Project Based Learning and guided to full inquiry. Through incorporation of these teaching methods, students experience science as science is in the real world. I acknowledge and embrace the cross discipline nature of science and incorporate writing and history into my classes. Through these methods, I hope that students leave my science classroom with a scientific view of the world which they can use to make informed decisions within their lives.
