Summary
Elementary teacher teaching science and engineering to grades k-5 for 20 years, implementing a large variety of curriculums. Worked in collaboration with expert teams to co-create whole units for science. Independently planned and created focused lessons on climate change, Native American history as it intersects with science and equity focused lessons. Recently I have been integrating imaginative play into science lessons.
