I am looking forward to working with the 2009-2010 7th graders this year.
A little about me:
I received a Bachelor's of Science in General Biology, with a split minor in Chemistry/Math/and Physics in 1997 from the University of Arizona. After that I went back to school at Chapman University to earn a teaching certificate and ultimately a Master of Arts in Curriculum and Instruction in 2001.
This is my fifth year at Cross Middle School, but my tenth year teaching after having taught 5th grade for three years and 6th grade for two years. Since I have taught all the subjects, I try to make a lot of connections to the other disciplines. I want my students to see that science is more than just knowledge and white lab coats, but a way of thinking that both affects and can be used in all other areas of our lives.
I also consider myself a life long learner, especially in learning to become the best teacher I can be through workshops and other professional development. I participated in the National Science Foundation's Research Experience for Teachers for two summers by working in a research laboratory at the U of A and have recently finished graduate classes in Educational Leadership.
Please contact me if you would like to be a part of what goes on in this classroom by being a guest speaker or if you have any questions or concerns. |
