Allison Gerhard
love what you do.
My name is Allison and I love what I do. I teach 5th grade science to encourage the next generation to find joy in the natural world around us. Teaching gives me the opportunity to live my core values every day: curiosity, integrity, authenticity, and kindness.
Philosophy
Why I Teach
Positive interactions with my own science educators have instilled in me a drive to bring that same care and encouragement into the classroom as a fifth grade science teacher.
What I Teach
I teach the foundational elements of science to the next generation: making observations, backing up a claim with data, and effectively communicating scientific information to a variety of audiences.
How I Teach
I encourage exploration of the scientific fields through inquiry-based learning and fun, hands-on class activities.
