2021 AFT TEACH Conference

Hi, my students call me E-Pops ( a much easier version of my name) that an amazing young man came up with 10 years ago, and it stuck!

Prior to teaching in my current school of 1400 high school students, I worked in two different districts, both with "at-risk" clientele. It amazes me that the kids I teach today, would have been in those outreach schools, our students are struggling increasingly and it is becoming "normal". I teach a variety of grade 10-12 science classes (general science and biology) at the upper academic levels, as well as forensic science and 3 different psychology classes. I am looking forward to the opportunity to learn more about what the education landscape may look like going forward, and how we can continue to foster mental health for all of our students.
