Cynthia R. Nelson is an instructor of science education in the Teacher Education Program
at Texas Tech University. Her, more than twenty years, of classroom experience, include
teaching in both elementary and middle school classrooms. The focus of her teaching
has been science education. She has overseen the writing and execution of curriculum,
designed and implemented after-school science programs, and actively pursued attitudes
and teaching practices that empower students to be lifelong learners. Opportunities
to travel with students to Costa Rica, Ecuador, The Galapagos Islands, Space Camp
in Alabama, Johnson Space Center in Texas, and Kennedy Space Center in Florida, have
allowed her to extend classroom content and processes into real world applications.
As a teacher educator, she strives to equip future science teachers with the attitudes
and teaching practices they will need in working with their students.
