Emily Diane Sprowls

(She)
Faculty Lecturer, Science Education, McGill University

My career as a classroom science teacher and teacher of science teachers has led me to my doctoral research on student-driven science and environmental education. My research is focused on learning among science students and preservice teachers through our collaborations on environmental and science educational initiatives, in both formal and informal settings. In addition to teaching and learning alongside primary and secondary students and preservice teachers, I enjoy working with the National School Reform Faculty in collaboration with teachers across North America. Outside of school, you can find me volunteering in our community garden or riding my bike around Montreal.
