I work with the SRT-STEM Center at UT-Medical Branch in Galveston. As the Co-Director for Education Outreach I have the opportunity to work with STEM Academies and STEM Designated Campuses in the implementation of 21st Century Skills for the development of our future workforce. I am passionate about classroom pedagogy and the instructional strategies that bridge the gap in student knowledge and teacher effectiveness. I works as a mentor and coach to novice teachers and those wanting to improve their practice. Amazing changes in classrooms occur when using these STEM-based strategies.
