Mrs. Bloom

Agricultural Education, Sioux Central CSD

My name is Melanie Bloom and I am the agricultural educator at Sioux Central. I am a farm wife and a mother of three daughters. I earned a ouble B.S. in Ag Ed / An Sci and a M.S. in Ag Ed from Iowa State University; I am a current PhD candidate in Ag Education and Leadership Development through Mizzou Online. 

I have taught on and off at Sioux Central since 2002 [and spent a few years writing agriscience curriculum as an independent contractor in there, too]. 

My focus is on experiential and inquiry learning in agricultural sciences. I do not grade daily work, but instead focus on helping students build knowledge and skills which they demonstrate through course projects. I believe all students can find success in my classroom; I work to provide enrichment opportunities for students who excel.
