I taught 5th grade for two years, and have taught middle school science for 8 years from 6-8th grade. I am licensed as a science teacher from 6-12 grade, with a Masters in Science Education, and a Doctorate in Educational Leadership. I like making learning relate to real world experiences so students can connect to material easier than standard memorization. I review in a flow pattern that starts with basic information and expands into complex information to assist students with retention, and like to bring real world conversations in with students connecting their experiences when possible.
