Education is a collaborative effort. Everyone from students to parents and teachers to community members should be part of the educational process. This is why I am constantly trying to get everyone involved in the science classroom. Unfortunately science tends to get a bad rap from the general public. A lack of understanding leads to skepticism of scientific theories and practices. My goal is to counteract these negative stigmas by helping everyone realize the beauty and brilliance of science.
This year I'm hoping to get a crew of student assistants to work as ambassadors for science. Any high school student can opt out of study hall to become a student assistant. Last year I had three absolutely amazing student assistants who helped me accomplish so much more than I would have ever been able to do alone. This year I am hoping to get at least one student assistant per class period to help with daily classroom activities as well as educational outreach.
Here are my guidelines for all my student assistants: Science Student Assistants
