High School Science Teacher
CurrentI developed and implemented place-based learning curricula for Plant and Animal Science and Chemistry courses, which enhanced student engagement and real-world connections in a Title 1 school setting. I designed and adapted scaffolded curriculum to support approximately 35% of students with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs), ensuring they had equitable access to educational content and fostering inclusive learning environments. I facilitated community partnerships to enrich students' understanding of scientific concepts, cultural contexts, and environmental stewardship, significantly enhancing their learning experiences and practical knowledge. I created and aligned Plant and Animal Science and Chemistry curricula from scratch, ensuring they complied with NGSS standards and integrated place-based learning to provide relevant and engaging educational experiences.
