About Ms. Danielle Devonport

While growing up in Northern California, my passion for the natural world was cultivated by exploring my backyard in the Santa Cruz Mountains.

After attending universities in California and Chicago, I landed in Wilmington, NC to complete my B.S. in Environmental Science at UNC Wilmington. After working in environmental outdoor education, I decided to pursue traditional teaching and obtained my M.A.T in Secondary Science Education.

My teaching philosophy is experiential and inquiry-based. I believe the education system should be teaching practical skills that students will be able to use for life after high school. For this reason, I incorporate real-world laboratory methods to develop communication, project management, and critical thinking skills. At this point in education, I believe students should be taking initiative and control of their learning and I will be here to explain complex concepts and guide them along the way.
