Nancy just received a position with D.C. public schools and will move up to begin teaching middle school science. This is her second year with SEP.
What's your class like? Can you describe it for us?
My class this year is Infectious Diseases: Past and Present, and interdisciplinary course focusing on the history of the spread of disease and the effects various outbreaks had on society. In addition to learning about various pandemics, students are learning about disease transmission, domestic and international government agencies, and tools and techniques of the trade.
What made you want to come back and teach this summer?
I had a great experience last year and wanted again to work with gifted students.
Do you have a favorite memory from years past?
I love the skits (that counselors act out to introduce the class names) on the first day of each session.
What do you think is the most difficult part of the job?
Getting to know a diverse group of students in a short amount of time.
What do you think of gifted education?
I believe gifted education is an important way to serve a portion of the student population.
Given infinite supplies and opportunities, what sort of class would you teach?
I'd try to integrate a lot of technology.
What's your biggest pet peeve?
Not having enough time.
