Explaining a concept to a tenth-grade biology student at Friends Select.
From January through the end of March, I student taught general biology (tenth and eleventh grades) and marine biology (eleventh and twelth grades) at Friends Select. From the end of March through the beginning of May, I worked as a long-term substitute in the Friends Select middle school, teaching seventh grade life sciences and sixth grade physical science. While teaching in the middle school, I was also a student advisor and led an environmental service group.
