Teaching Residency
The 2021-2022 school year was spent teaching 11th grade biology and environmental science at High Tech High Chula Visa. This was part of a 900 hour residency program while earning my CA single subject science teaching credential. Below are links to projects, lessons and a unit with photos, standards, student examples and videos. These pages can also be accessed through the menu at the top of the site. A link to my reflections of this year can be found at the bottom of this page.
Projects
Students created age appropriate stories based on concepts from our guiding text for the semester
Biodiversity, Restoration Beautification
Students use ecological concepts to plan restoration projects on campus.
Students chose topics related to human health and created museum exhibits for a community exhibition
Lessons
Unit
Here we are launching into climate change, and learning more about one of the primary driving forces behind it.
We are exploring the basics of DNA and building model strands out of gumdrops, mastering structure.
In this series we explore a local keystone species starting with a field study and ending with a lab report
As I wrap up this year of residency I reflect back on my strengths and room for growth and look to the future.
