Dona Gifty Donald

As a science teacher, I bring a combination of subject expertise, communication skills, and enthusiasm to the classroom. My deep understanding of scientific principles and concepts allows me to explain complex ideas in a way that is accessible to students of all ability levels. I also prioritize student-centered learning and engagement, striving to create a classroom environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and exploring new ideas. I believe in fostering a growth mindset in my students, encouraging them to embrace challenges and learn from their mistakes. Additionally, I am passionate about ongoing professional development, staying up-to-date with the latest research and pedagogical practices.

Methods:
In my classroom, I use a variety of teaching methods to engage students in the learning process. I believe in hands-on, inquiry-based learning, allowing students to explore scientific concepts through experimentation and discovery. I also incorporate technology into my lessons whenever possible, using simulations and virtual labs to supplement our in-class activities. I frequently use formative assessments to check for student understanding and adjust my instruction as needed. I am committed to providing a safe and inclusive classroom environment where all students feel valued and respected. Finally, I work closely with other educators and administrators to ensure that my curriculum aligns with state and national standards and that my teaching practices are evidence-based and effective
