My NSTA / Peers / Linda Martin

I am Advanced Academics Resource Teacher (GT) and a good percentage of my teaching day is dedicated to science instruction. I also run a GEMS Club, Girls Excelling in Math and Science, and after school and before school science club. One of my goals is to see the GEMS Club expand in my county to other schools. Right now there are GEMS Clubs in 25 total schools, both middle and elementary level.
