Hi!
I’m Leilani and this is my second term for the MET program. I am a certified high school science teacher (with a focus on biology). I have a BSc in Biology and completed the BEd July 2020. I currently reside in San Jose, CA and am in the process of getting certified in the state. My favourite part of teaching science are the labs. I feel that labs are one of the most interesting and engaging parts of science. Science literacy is extremely important, given in todays world, where there seems to be a lack of understanding of research and science. I hope to provide real-world experiences for students in science while also educating them on science literacy.
During my spare time, I like to work out, try different foods/desserts, and travel. I hope that taking this course and the MET program will allow me to understand and use tools that will improve the learning experiences for learners and make them better prepared for the future.
