Propagating Coral in Wisconsin





Thanks to Wisconsin Lutheran College and Dr. Robert Balza, I was able to learn so much about coral propagation and sea urchins prior to working in Puerto Rico this summer.  Little did I know that we don't know much about coral.   There are so many ties to the many classes that I teach and I cannot wait to start my own coral tank for my students to engage with.  My mind is spinning with fluorescence activities, sea urchin in vitro fertilization and general experimental design.  The only way to reset as a teacher is to keep finding amazing ways to engage with science outside of your classroom.  This is a great reminder to never give up on learning despite all of the challenges that our districts put on us that steer us away from teaching.  The little marine biologist in me is so pumped up to learn more.

  Throughout the final packing day, I have been pinching myself.  It's hard to believe that my love of science and learning is going to be turned into a field research experience.   The photo today, came from my itnerary with CARICOOS.  In the middle of the two amazing science entities is my school logo.  At the root of discovering science, we are the same.  Teaching and exploring science has always been a passion of mine but I often didn't find the right balance.  As a second career teacher, my heart has always been in the lab and field work.  When I was in the lab, I missed teaching others.  Right now, my summer has been the perfect marriage between the two:  absorbing as much science as I can from coral propagation, wolf tracking, indigenous tribal ecological knowledge, quantum physics and sea urchin restoration while generating activites for the science classroom.   After attending WINGS this summer, my focus is the cultivation the Joy and Wonder in science through sense-ma

Reflection: Nature as your teacher

It's really hard to capture what my Fund for Teachers Fellowship gave me both personally and professionally over the last 2 weeks.  Every day when I finished working alongside a researcher in the ocean or in the rainforest I felt like a child who had the best day ever and couldn't wait come home and tell mom and dad.   It relit my passion for science in a way I could not imagine.   When you get to touch science and feel it from it's perspective, you understand connection.  While I was hiking 30 minutes into El Yunque to help do groundwater and debris collection for a canopy study my brain thought about all of the stimulation I was getting from nature.  As I learned plants and history along the way through Monique's team, it allowed me to be present and engulfed in the process.  Being present was a theme everyone talked about.   Speaking with so many great team members from CIROM and their reef restoration efforts helped me remember to believe in myself when everything e

 Planning out a two week science exploration trip is nothing short of invigorating.  It beats sitting in professional devleopment meetings rewriting curriculum for the 8th time or listening to a "teaching expert" who has been in the classroom for only a year.   This is real professional development, guided by a true scientific explorer who is going to capture the essence of science practice and the brutal truth of failure.  It will be documented with primary source videos, captured with live interviews and lived my the newest scientist to this field....me.   Failure's roll in science is more prevelant that students think.  Most of the time when exploring science, we fail.   Throughout this last year, I have seen a ton of failure in my life in all aspects.  What matters most is how we use it to become stronger and more resilient.   Let me introduce you to my cohorts in crime (or science.)  Dr. Stacey Williams  and Travis Courtney's research facility in La Parguera will
