Teachers

My name is Craig Wardman and I teach M3 Science and M4 Physics, and I’m also a coordinator of the EPTS Climate Club. I originally completed a mechanical engineering degree, but I worked as a commercial pilot until my airline went bankrupt after the Sept. 11th Word Trade Center Attacks. I decided to change careers to become a science teacher and completed my Master’s Degree in Science Education. Teaching in EPTS for the past 15 years has been the most enjoyable and rewarding job I’ve ever had.

I really enjoy teaching weather since I used that knowledge every day while I was flying airplanes. It’s rewarding to provide amazing opportunities for our students through the Climate Club, such as connecting with their peers and scientists from around the world. Other activities the club has organized include participating in the NASA Student Cloud Observation Online Program, video conferences with NASA scientist Dr. Lin Chambers and Chartiers-Houston high school in the United States, webinars, working lunches, weather station data analysis, discussion of current weather events, and even visits by NASA scientists.

Any students who have an interest in weather and the environment, or would like to participate in international projects with other students and scientists from around the world are welcome to join!

Past Teacher

My name is Adam Bodley-Tickell. I teach Upper Matayom biology and M2 additional science. I am one of the EPTS Climate Club coordinators. Before becoming a teacher I worked in environmental science research and also in public health. I hold both an MSc in Environmental Science, and an MA in Education.

I have a long-standing interest in environmental and conservation issues. One of the greatest challenges facing our world now and in the future is the impact of climate change on living things and their environment. Although the scientific evidence for human-caused climate change is overwhelming, there are people who continue to deny that this is the case. I feel it is essential that today’s students are actively engaged in environmental issues, with climate change at the forefront.

The EPTS Climate Club is a great way for students to learn about some of these important issues in a fun and informal setting. I hope that by participating in the club I can help our club members develop a lifelong interest and passion in the environment and ways to preserve this precious resource.
