About Me
Hello! I am Emilia Hogg, a graduate student at Adelphi University studying STEAM Teaching & Learning and a High School Physics teacher at DreamYard Preparatory School in the Bronx.
Since high school, I have always had a fascination with physical sciences, but nothing warmed my heart more than sharing that fascination with others. At Binghamton University I studied physics, but confirmed my desire to be an educator in their education minor program. Following my graduation in May 2022, I joined the NYC Teaching Fellows Program, participated in their intense training program, and jump-started my professional teaching career. When I am not teaching or studying, you can find me coaching at Blazerz Juniors Volleyball Club or on the slopes as an agency lead for "CHILL," a board sports club at DreamYard. Nothing is more rewarding for me than building positive relationships with my students and players and being a resource to help them excel whether that be in the classroom, on the court, slopes, or in life
At Adelphi, we our focusing on culminating meaningful learning through "making," and there is no better way to become an expert in fulfilling this strategy than by becoming a "maker" yourself. This portfolio entails all the projects and assignments that we did as graduate students at Adelphi and reflections on how they can be used to teach science in the classroom.

Reflection is a huge part of the making process, here you will find some of the connections I made while studying at Adelphi.
Implementing a STEAM approach in science curriculum is integral to culminating meaningful learning and engaging students in science. However, there is a hesitancy and oftentimes pushback from educators and administration. For that exact reason, linked here is a research-based rationale for making in the classroom.
