Betty Jo Moore teaches 6th grade science at a STEAM magnet middle school. She is a lifelong learner and loves seeking out opportunities for learning and for ideas to bring back to the classroom. She has participated in the Mickelson ExxonMobil Teachers Academy, Honeywell Space Academy for Educators, the STEM Guitar Institute (she built an electric guitar), Advanced Space Academy for Educators, NASA LiftOff2016, workshops in Belize and California and was selected to be a part of the Smithsonian Institution's Teacher Innovator Institute for three years. She is certified to borrow the lunar and meteorite samples from the NASA Archives and is a National Geographic Certified Educator.
