As a member of the NASA STEM Pathway Activities Consortium for Education (NSPACE), John supports NASA STEM Engagements missions of: creating unique opportunities for a diverse set of students to contribute to NASA’s work in exploration and discovery, building a diverse future STEM workforce by engaging students in authentic learning experiences with NASA’s people, content and facilities, and attracting diverse groups of students to STEM through learning opportunities that spark interest and provide connections to NASA’s mission and work. In his work at NSPACE, John specifically supports the partnership between NASA and the Houston Independent School District (HISD). John serves as an instructional coach and supports teachers and staff at two high school campuses as they integrate NASA content into their daily curriculum. John got his start in education at the University of Georgia, where he earned a B.S. in Science Education. Before joining the NSPACE team, John taught AP Environmental science at KIPP Northeast College Prep here in Houston. John is passionate about expanding access to high quality STEM education with an emphasis on student centered and inquiry based instruction.
