My mission is for the world to feel the spark of scientific understanding.

Hi, I'm Dr. Steph Gorski, science and math teacher at Triam Udom Suksa Pattanakarn Nonthaburi School (TUPN) and Chair of Biology at Wiley University (on sabbatical). I've created this page to track and share my work at school and in the community. If you're here, you might be an education professional looking for inspiration. Welcome! Come and join me as I share what I have, and please feel free to reach out. 

The Lesson Vault tab and the Young Teachers tab are full of resources I hope will be helpful. They're flipped-classroom friendly and open for anyone to use. If you want to know more about me and my work, please click the Teaching, Training, and Outreach tabs above. Get in touch at drsgorski95@gmail.com or (903) 923-2485. Or find me on LinkedIn here. 

Who am I?

I am passionate about science and math education. I had an adult diagnosis of autism and ADHD, so my learning journey is quirky, but I know I'm not alone. 

I remember being a "smart kid" in school when we were discussing things I'd already taken the effort to learn on my own. But for everything else, I didn't ever make any progress because I was missing some very basic pieces of the puzzle: why I should learn something in school, how I should do it, and that I was even capable of paying attention and doing the work. I remember adults telling me to pay attention and do my homework, but that seemed like an adult telling me to fly to the moon. 

Today, I help students not only to learn, but to frame their own learning as something desirable, achievable, useful, and often fun. I also help education professionals with materials they can use to inspire their own students.

My Philosophy

I’m a professor and teacher who helps young people struggling with science and math to get the results they need for the career they want.

My take is that the real reason they’re struggling is usually that they are told that they are supposed to learn something, but they don't know why or how.

If they don’t handle it or handle it wrong, they might miss the target on their intellectual or career goals.

If they do handle it well, they can reach their dreams.

What I think these students need most to handle it is someone to help them that may have struggled on the way up.
