Teacher Bio
I currently teach 6th and 7th grade Science for the 6/7 Academy Team. In the past, I have taught both Language Arts and Creative Writing, including a 4 year stint at Capshaw Middle School. I hold a K-8 Elementary and 7-12 Secondary license and am highly qualified to teach Science and Language Arts. I truly believe that teaching is not my profession, but my vocation. It is a privilege to impart something I love, to witness a-ha moments, and to watch a student walk out the door not only educated, but excited.
In my class, students can expect a variety of assignments in school and out, including hands-on investigations, data collection, written analysis, research and science projects, tests, etc. They should also expect to respect themselves, others, and the instructional environment while in my room.

When time allows, the topics covered include the scientific method, Earth’s structure, rocks and minerals, weathering, erosion, natural resources, plate tectonics, fossils and geologic time, earthquakes, plate tectonics, volcanoes, Earth’s waters, weather, climate, the atmosphere, the solar system, and man's impact on the Earth.

When time allows, the topics covered include the scientific method, characteristics of life, structure and functions of cells, reproduction and heredity, adaptation and biodiversity, organisms and their environments, as well as how energy flows through it, and major body systems.
