Dr. Peters Burton from
George Mason University was our guest speaker on Dec. 20th. She shared
her story with us about how she and her family escaped hardships in Ireland,
how she landed in foster care, and how she ended up attending several universities
for free. Before all that though, she ate a candle (or was it...?)!
Her bio at GMU is available here. Her book is
entitled Thinking
Like Scientists: Using Metacognitive Prompts to Develop Nature of Science
Knowledge. Dr. Peters Burton said that her goal is to help
teachers create meaningful science lessons in their classroom that inspire
students to want to learn. If you would like to email her, her email is Epeters1@gmu.edu.
If you were in the class, what did you find
interesting about Dr. Peters Burton?
