The Face of 21st Century Teaching
If you’re looking for Science Teacher Tricia Roth, the Indian Creek School community knows that you’re likely to find her outside with students flying a drone around the School’s 114-acre campus, collecting data for an Environmental Science lab, or in her STEM lab with the lights off, guiding Biology students as they inject bioluminescent genes into bacteria to make them glow. Mrs. Roth understands that students learn best when inspired by meaningful, project-based activities, and are given the tools and confidence to excel. “As a scientist, I realize that traditional forms of collecting data and memorizing facts are not always exciting.
It’s important to challenge students with projects that have real-world inquiries. Once they understand that a lab has a purpose, the sky’s the limit!” A published scientist herself, Mrs. Roth uses her own professional resources to benefit her students. Mrs. Roth is also the Director of BLinc, a program which offers courses for credit and enrichment, through a combination of online and face-to-face learning. Indian Creek faculty and students alike look to Mrs. Roth as an example of ingenuity in teaching, and see her as an incredible role model, mentor, scientist, and teacher.
