| Introduction | I'm an interesting combination of science and the arts. You know, the kid who sat in the dirt & watched the ants build an anthill so she could write a dramatic screenplay about the process. (Think I have a case against Dreamworks?) After twelve years in the formal classroom, I have taken on the role of provider of professional development for teachers where I plan and facilitate immersion model workshops for science teachers emphasizing inquiry based learning through the science practices. |

| Favorite books | “To teach in a manner that respects and cares for the souls of our students is essential if we are to provide the necessary conditions where learning can most deeply and intimately begin.” - Bell Hooks, Teaching to Transgress: Education as the Practice of Freedom |
