El Camino Fundamental High School

In accordance with the state standards, instructs students in a survey of the topics and major theories in the sciences of Biology, Earth Science, Anatomy and Physiology, and Physics. Success hinges upon my ability to design, create and deliver lessons that were attainable to the students while engaging their minds and piquing their curiosity in the various subjects. Self assessment and improvement are expected so that the next lesson is more effective and meaningful to the students. Position requires accurate and timely record keeping, effective communication both in-person and online with students, parents, colleagues, administration, and district level admin, the ability to be flexible and pivot in an every changing school environment, especially as student groups change.

This committee's mission was to select the most appropriate and best fitting curriculum for the new Physics of the Universe course. the committee was made up of seven active physics teachers in the district, and the head of the Professional Learning and Innovation department. My role was to evaluate the available curricula, discuss with fellow committee members which options were viable enough to pilot, and to provide rationale for those options to the department head who would report back to the board of education. My achievements within this committee: - Brought forward the curricula that was ultimately adopted - Helped with negotiations for the adoption to include a capital investment in every Physics classroom, so that all classrooms would have the same equipment , which allows for better cross school site collaboration. - Helped to show how the curricula aligned to the NGSS and the Physics of the Universe course, despite the curricula not being formatted in the preferred inquiry/PQM style.

Represent El Camino High School on the Leadership team focused on developing new NGSS aligned science courses that would integrate Earth Science into Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. This role included working with district admin to develop strategy to effectively use the allotted release time provided to the larger NGSS Course Development committee (which were also apart of), so that as a group we could create three new science courses - Biology of the Living Earth, Chemistry of the Earth, Physics of the Universe - and get them approved by the district and the UC A-G boards before the 2021-2022 school year. As committee, was lead the discussions in the larger group, helped in the writing of the courses including planning out the instructional segment sequence, and recommended labs. We also development a professional development training day that would bring all the science teachers who had not been part of the course creation committee up to speed on the changes to the courses and the expectations. In this committee, I utilized my background in Earth and Space science to help both the Biology and Physics subgroups plan curriculum around the earth Science standards that are being integrated into the courses.
