Holly McTernan

AMTA Member and Cleveland Modeling Workshop Leader

I teach High School Physics at St Edward High School on multiple levels (regular, honors, AP, IB over the past 16 years) using Modeling Instruction Method learned at ASU while earning my Masters degree in 2008-2011. Currently a board member for Ohio Section AAPT. I have been an enthusiastic teacher 29 years since 1987. Have taught junior high science as well as high school chemistry and physical science and physics. Love teaching. Love learning. Want to share what I have learned with others, the way teachers shared with me and helped me when I was starting out. I trained as a Modeling Workshop leader in 2013 so I could bring workshops to Cleveland and NE Ohio area where there have been none offered. This funding campaign is to make those workshops more affordable and get more materials into the hands of teachers to take back into their classrooms so they will be able to implement the method so that the workshop is as practical and applicable as possible.
