Journeys of Teaching

This week, we will explore the journey of Emily Telford, a biology science teacher at University High School, a lab school affiliated with Illinois State University in Normal, Illinois. She also serves as an Assistant Instructional Professor at Illinois State. She has been a professional educator since 2011 and holds a master's degree in STEM Education and Teacher Leadership with a concentration in Educational Technology from Illinois State. 

On this episode, we will go back to Emily's 'spark' towards the sciences as a young student.
