Bio
Lisa Hollenbach
I had the opportunity to work with Meg for several years as an editor during her time serving as a member of the "NGSS Squad" and a Teacher Laureate for Teaching Channel. Meg was always excited and enthusiastic about both her work in the classroom and in her work helping other teachers to better understand and teach science in alignment with the Next Generation Science Standards. Meg is one of the most creative science teachers I have ever known, and her passion for the field and for teaching was evident in every aspect of her work—from lesson plans to Twitter posts to blog posts to professional conferences. She jumped into every request I sent her way with a zeal unmatched by any of her peers, and produced some of the most widely read, well-loved and engaging posts on our platform. I truly enjoyed working with Meg and I recommend her without reservation. Any school or organization would be lucky to have her on their team!
