Long-time middle school science teacher turns towards STEM. Bryan has a passion for change, innovation, and learning. This inspiration has transitioned into all his activities with his students to create authentic learning.

Use local references, in his case, the military community, to create design challenges.
Flex the guardrails of your curriculum to push the boundaries of learning for students.
To empower your classroom, you have to allow students the opportunity to relearn curiosity.
Take a risk, and fail. The first thing you will do always sucks, so fix it and try again!
Leverage your class engagement to power through the “boring” lessons that are a necessary part of the process.
Analyze your state standards and determine if you are teaching too much. There is a good chance you spend more time on skills that are not standards or, focus too much on non-essential standards.
Create lessons that students are genuinely curious about, and the best way to determine that is to ask them.
