I thought I was done with school settings after my undergraduate degree. The day final exams ended, I went to work on a nearby farm.
But by October, I was initiating a K-12 Farm-to-School program in rural Colby, Wisconsin. I haven't strayed far from teaching and learning since.
I later earned secondary science teacher certification. My thesis project for a Master of Arts in Teaching from Wayne State University involved using school gardens at a Detroit high school to intentionally broaden concepts of what scientific practices and scientists can look like.
