Hello!
My name is Kayry Segarra and I am a chemistry teacher in Baltimore City Public Schools. My degree is in biochemistry and molecular biology, however, I decided that I should try my hand at teaching and I am about to complete my third year.
I decided to join the academy because I've always thought education about Climate Change is very important, however, I never felt like I was adequately equipped with enough information to properly teach it. Also, my district is pushing towards integrating Environmental Science in chemistry, biology, and physics, so I would like to educate myself in as much environmental science as possible. I hope that by participating in this program I will feel more comfortable delivering a lesson about climate change, and have resources that I can pull from to help myself and my students through the lessons.
