I help science teachers inspire wonder in our world while instilling critical thinking skills in their students that last a lifetime.
For the past five years, I’ve used a novel lesson planning framework to create a student-centered classroom culture while establishing a routine of exploration, reflection, and analysis.
My students – who are mostly not college-bound – become comfortable and confident with the challenges I create for them.
My professional development programs help other science teachers use their deep content knowledge to share their passion for science to teach informed decision-making, increase student confidence, and nurture meaningful relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions
What grade levels will this resource support?
As a high school science teacher who believes that leveraging students’ natural inquiry as a instructional strategy stops in middle school in favor of memorization of facts and figures for standardized tests, I recommend my methods for middle school and high school science teachers.
The sooner students learn and begin practicing science skills, the more proficient they will be by the time they graduate!
Why isn't this just a list or an e-book?
This resource has been designed to model how simple changes to delivery toward student-centered action instantly increase engagement. Â
I don’t want you to read through a list of 30 actions and then delete the resource forever, believing it’s all either too basic or too overwhelming to pursue with passion!
Instead, I want you to surprise yourself each day with a new challenge and then execute each of these actions with anticipation that something amazing can happen!
Truly, this resource was created to help every teacher learn something new.
If your current strategy is completely teacher-centered, following a very conventional lecture-and-lab approach, these 30 days will enlighten you to all that’s involved in truly transforming your classroom culture to one that is completely student-centered and inquiry-based.
If you’ve already been experimenting with interactive lesson plans that include regular data analysis and collaboration, you may take away only a few new strategies. But, these strategies could help you devise a formula for providing supercharged science experiences in your classroom everyday.
Is this a beginner's guide, only for new science teachers?
The sooner science teachers can adopt student-centered, inquiry-based strategies that require more focused, thoughtful action the better!
By starting with the approaches described in this resource early in your career, you’re less likely to feel bored and burnout … instead, you might wake up feeling excited to go to work and content in the knowledge that you’re commitment is creating true life-long learners.
However, I only found my way to these methods after 9 years of working with the traditional, lecture-lab mindset!Â
If you are a veteran teacher or second-career science teacher who knows what you want to accomplish but don’t how to implement it or haven’t yet been successful, this resource will be very helpful to begin the process of change.
