Reflecting on the DTI experience:
“Being part of DTI has really helped me grow personally and professionally. It has given me opportunities to meet like-minded colleagues, professors and just amazing educators! it is challenging and rewarding and has definitely made me a better teacher.
My favorite unit so far is about the Horseshoe crab, created while participating in a seminar with Jack Bartley. I was able to secure grant funding to take my students to the Delaware Bay for a mock crab count and to participate in some awesome scientific inquiry. One of my students gained international recognition for her artwork submitted to a contest at the end of the unit.”
