A bit more on my background
Started about 7 years ago by Alyse Riehl.
Hello! I'd like to explain a bit more about my background, because I will likely have concept questions in addition to discussing teaching methods and resources. My degree is in Marine Science with a concentration of biology. I had to take quite a bit of chemistry for my degree, so I had enough credits to be eligible for NJ chemistry certification. I worked in marine science for the first 4 years after I graduated college. Then I got a Masters in Science teaching and began teaching after that. I have 15 years of teaching experience , but I have taught general chem (my first two years), marine science, biology, anatomy, and environmental science. Last year was my first year teaching advanced chemistry. So, I am studying like crazy, taken some online chem courses, but I sometimes have concept questions. I wanted to participate in this so I could ask concept questions, but I am a bit nervous to ask them for fear that you all might think they are "foolish" questions for someone teaching chemistry. I am hoping this will be an opportunity to increase my chemistry knowledge further, so I appreciate your patience in advance! :)
