Who?
I am Lorraine Theroux, a science educator in
Boston, USA. I mostly teach children but I also teach adults.
I have degrees from UMASS/Amherst (College of Engineering) (Go UMASS!!) and Harvard (School of Education). You can email me: ltheroux at gmail . My work on implementing notebooks and on other "best practices" in education has been improved and enriched by countless others who have inspired and supported and pushed me. Most of these folks are either educators working in and around Boston Public Schools OR are those who have presented at NSTA conventions. Any and all mistakes/errors/omissions are mine - please email me to let me know about them. | ||
