Phil is brand new to teaching with the Summer Enrichment Program. He is an MT student completing his post-graduate degree in secondary education, with a concentration in science.
What's your class like? Can you describe it for us?
My class is a mix of labs, activities, and learning. Students regularly work together in small groups, as well as individually. Class works to find real life applications of introductory chemistry and biochemistry concepts.
What's something about you someone might not expect if they didn't know you well?
I can juggle.
What do you think is the most difficult part of the job?
Adapting to three completely different classes of students, while still maintaining my standards and expectations.
What do you think of gifted education?
I think that there are many opportunities to bring in interesting content; however it can sometimes be difficult to get material to students that come in with a variety of experiences.
Given infinite supplies and opportunities, what sort of class would you teach?
Students would research individual proteins using biochemical tools.
What's your biggest pet peeve?
Being unsafe in the lab.
