Welcome!

I'm Amy Davis (she/her) and I've been teaching on Outschool since 2020.  My primary focus is on semester long high school science classes.  My teaching style is to try to create a positive, low-stress environment with plenty of opportunity for student interaction without forcing or making anyone uncomfortable.  I use Nearpod for interactive lessons and I provide a Google Slides digital notebook to all students, which includes handouts for each weekly lesson, and places for students to keep track of grades, notes, and resources. 
 I recognize that different families have different ways of keeping (or not keeping) grades, as well as different local regulations about classes and grades, so all graded quizzes and exams outside of class are completely optional.  

A Little Background About Me:
  I have a bachelor's of science degree in chemistry with a minor in mathematics, and a master's of science degree in secondary education with a minor in chemistry.  I also currently teach adult education classes at my local community college.  I have been a certified 8-12 science teacher in Texas since 2012, spending 5 years teaching in public school, 3 years teaching at a homeschool co-op and rest of the time teaching online and at the community college. I have taught chemistry, biology, earth science, life science, forensic science, integrated physics and chemistry in grades 8-12.

I enjoy hanging out with and homeschooling my two teenagers, spending time outside in my native plant wildlife garden, trying all kinds of new things, and relaxing with my three dogs.


If you have any further questions, please send me a message.  I would love to hear from you.
