ALT Headshot of Dr. Heather Clark, Ph.D., Assistant Professor in Teacher Education. Text says 'Faculty Spotlight.' What is your hometown? A: Ventura, California. One concept that you could instill in your students? That we are all connected and that all ideas we teach are connected. Try to see the world as a web of relationships.

Darlene Tieu at the Mann UCLA Community School! She is a social science educator that makes every student feel loved and like a scientist! "I was a chemistry teacher and it feels like superpower to explain what is happening around me - from the little stuff like a rush of cold air when you open the freezer to the big stuff like global warming. I work in science education to help teachers and students develop science as a tool for understanding and improving the world around them."
