My name is Lindsay and I attend Drake University working toward my Master of Science in Teaching degree (elementary education) with a Reading endorsement. I received my B.A. in Dance and Communication Studies from the University of Iowa in 2006. I'm very excited to student teach in the Spring and hopefully get a job in the Des Moines area the following year. I'm getting married this coming June and have a energetic dog named Benson.
I am very inspired by William's story and think our team was named after him because of his perseverance, which is something that teachers should have. William continued down his path to create electricity even though most people around him thought he was crazy. He believed in himself, committed and the result was astounding. I think that teaching is similar. We want our students to learn the nature of Science and all content for that matter, instead of memorizing terms and following laid out procedures. Teaching this way is hard and some people may think it's crazy, but I believe with perseverance and commitment students will learn more.
