TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have taught high school biology/ science for 20+ years, but I don't feel that old!!!

MY TEACHING STYLE

I like to present students with opportunities to engage, think, analyze, make connections and propose questions. I like to create activities where students have to construct a model or use a model and not only construct explanations to explain the analogies, but also to recognize the limitations of such models. I try to bring in current, relevant content and find ways to incorporate everyday articles or items into a lesson. I do whole group instruction, but I really enjoy circulating and doing small group instruction where I can engage and connect with the students individually. ALL of the lessons I post here will be aligned to NGSS (NYSSLS in NYS)!

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

I'm a busy mom of young kids, but I really have always enjoyed creating my own original lessons, activities and labs. I enjoy the process of having a topic I want to address, thinking of ideas and then putting those ideas into action on paper. I have always liked writing and creating my own introductions, questions and simulations/ labs. Now, I just have to do this stuff after 8pm!
