Science Teacher
-
Oct 2013 - Present
At Duggan Academy I provide high quality science instruction to urban middle school students. My goal is to put science content into relevant context in order to foster student success. To achieve this goal I develop cross curricular and previous content connections to increase retention and deepen understanding. I utilize the Workshop Model, Model of Inquiry, Backward Design, Universal Design For Learning, Massachusetts Frameworks, and NGSS to design units and lessons. I employ formative assessments to check for understanding, provide scaffolding to ensure all students have access to rigorous lessons, embed discussion protocols, and make thinking visible. Show less
