Love science and love making it understandable for students. Watching the moment when it clicks for a student is awesome!
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceA group of students that would come by after school to hang out and work on their assignments. They weren't "into science" but wanted to do their best and really developed into critical thinkers and found out that they really loved the class.
What would you do with the $25,000?I'm lucky enough to teach at my high school alma mater and am part of the alumni association. A portion would be gifted to their scholarship fund, food drive and winter clothing drive. Then I would try to use to it have my team attend an NSTA conference together. We have some new teachers that have never attended a conference.
