As a future middle school science teacher, I will be part of a team of 7th grade teachers that will work collaboratively to share teaching strategies and best practices. I look forward to working with them and learning as much as possible from them so that I can grow as a teacher.
I am a member of NSTA (National Science Teachers Association) which provides extensive professional development opportunities, including webinars, journals, conferences, and lesson ideas. As a member of NSTA I can build my learning library where I can add upcoming professional development and other learning tools to continuously improve my practice.
I am a member of many science teacher groups on Facebook where I can share and get great teaching and lesson ideas from other science teachers to grow and build my portfolio. Through these groups, I can also collaborate and seek help when I am having challenges.
I plan to continue my college education and take graduate level courses, with possible pursuit of my EdD degree (Science Education). I am a lifetime learner and always will continue to learn.
