T. Dewitt Taylor Middle-High School, Pierson, FL

Chemistry and Physical Science Teacher Last year I was teaching high school science in a combined middle and high school located in an extremely rural area in Volusia County. A large subset of the student population come from migrant farming families and close to 70% of the population learned English as a second language. In addition to my responsibilities in the classroom, I served as the advisor for the schools chapter of the National Honor Society where I facilitated meetings, planned events and maintained the nationally established standards for the organization. Through NHS, I worked with an outreach organization that planned and performed a large food drive for the local food bank. I also organized and hosted the district NHS meeting and oversaw my NHS students as they planned a dance for the middle school. I attended a Regional Path Training where I became an AVID-trained educator before serving as the science liaison for the schools AVID program. 2011-2012

course exam. I also completed the E3 countywide new teacher mentorship program. While in the classroom, I implemented several problem-based learning activities that allowed me to lead my students in learning science through regular hands-on laboratory experiments. I led my chemistry students in a lab involving gastronomy; I led my biology students in a lab that fermented cheese; and I led my genetics students in a lab that successfully altered the DNA of bacteria in such a way that they were able to glow in the dark.
