[…]keeps me coming back to the classroom are opportunities to be creative. I love spending time thinking about new ways to introduce/reinforce topics and how to help students see connections between topics. It’s exciting to be able to dive into a new course, or work on improving what you have done in the past. It’s also fun to connect to more people and resources each year in person and through the internet. -Sujata Ganpule, Senior Fellow Download […]
[…]evaluated the impact of prescribed fires on insects. Additionally, Carly taught in a variety of informal settings, including abroad, before she started teaching high school science in Vermont in 2014. Carly is particularly passionate about trying to teach climate change in a way that grounds students in the science behind climate change and encourages them to take action. At her core, Carly firmly believes that every one of her students can DO science. This belief drives her to create and refine tasks, and informs each of her classroom practices. Hobbies Carly is passionate about spending time outdoors and being active. […]
[…]to campus. I don’t blame him. I think many students, when they heard about an opportunity to “come to campus” for school, didn’t necessarily envision a 6.5 hour day of sitting in the same, hard-backed desk logged in and plugged into back-to-back virtual class sessions, roomed with a handful of other students they may not necessarily share a class with and an adult that may not necessarily be one of their teachers on record. But we’ve learned to make the best of it. My learning pod shares a group chat in Microsoft Teams. When I renamed the group chat as […]

[…]immediately come to mind. The research talk was held in mid-July; the start of school was six comfortable weeks away, and I had no urgent distractions. I chose to attend the research talk. The topic and tone of the talk—how to collect and analyze data to determine the effects of climate change on populations, delivered by an expert—respected my professional knowledge and interests. Most importantly, though, the talk came at the end of a week-long professional development experience. During the week, some science teacher colleagues and I hung out with the research team in the field. We participated in data […]
