I taught three courses in-person, hybrid, and virtually concurrently at Mascoma Valley Regional High School, including Honors Biology, General Education Biology, and a senior seminar in Environmental Science. Additionally, I co-created the school-wide Social-Emotional Learning curriculum.

Honors Biology

My honors biology course adapted the University of Colorado Inquiry Hub curriculum for hybrid and virtual learning, and included a unit on biochemistry and molecular biology through infectious diseases and vaccines that culminated in a formal research poster presentation; a unit on Duchene’s Muscular Dystrophy that taught genetics and heredity; a unit on populations and ecosystems, and a final unit on plant biology.

General Education Biology

My general education biology course explored biology first through the lens of different types of plants and animal body systems to build science fluency and math and English skills– culminating in an in-depth research project on a particular animal– as well as shorter versions of the Honors Biology units.

Environmental Science

My environmental science course literally investigated the interaction of humans and the environment from the ground up– first learning about basic geology, natural cycles, and the weather, then the Green Revolution and agriculture, and finally transportation and energy.
