Combining my love for competition and interest in science was something I did from early on in my career.
I also liked to do “action research” to evaluate initiatives in my class and department.
Some of the fun I have had as a teacher is here!

“Physics First” was a department wide change in science sequence that I wanted to implement if able to.
