Summary:
A Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellow, with seventeen-years of educational leadership
experience in science and natural history at the Kalamazoo Nature Center, is seeking a
secondary biology education position in the Kalamazoo Public School system. The
Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellowship presented me with internship opportunities to
teach in high-need environments, such as, the Kalamazoo Juvenile home and to intern teach
an entire year of ninth grade biology for Kalamazoo Central High School. My hope is to
blend my secondary science teaching in the schools with the my knowledge of my
community’s after-school educational resources, to assist high-need students in being
science literate and to connect them to opportunities for success and growth in our
community, while understanding the connection that science has in their lives.
