  Orot Banot School For Girls

  Oct 2016 - Jun 2019

  Science Educator

  I identified and solved a lack of experiential learning in the elementary science education, and developed a curriculum for under-achieving and under-served students. This highly successful initiative motivated students to improve both grades and behavior across all classes, according to teachers’ reports.
