Science Math Teaching Center

Clare brings a background in non-formal science education instruction, coordination, and research. She held lead instructor and day program coordination positions at Teton Science Schools, which built into her graduate research on various approaches to non-formal (field-based, structured) science learning and their implications for learning and supporting the Next Generation Science Standards. During graduate school, she leveraged the standards-based elements of this work into work with the SMTC's professional development team. Upon graduating, Clare joined the PD team to support teachers around Wyoming in understanding and implementing the Wyoming State Science Content and Performance Standards (based on the Next Generation Science Standards). She has been working closely with the standards and the framework that supports them since 2017.
