I teach High School and Middle School Science courses at our small Charter School. Goals for 2012-2013:Provide a true lab science experience for my students by helping to remodel a room at our school that can accomodate the necessary activities in a high school science lab. Build a self sustaining recycling and composting program at the school wherein our waste stream is diverted from the landfill. Integrate Common Core Standards into all curriculum and help faculty adopt teaching methods to address these standards before statewide implementation.
