You deserve better than chugging a Red Bull as you drag yourself out the building to drive home in silence and collapse in bed
Imagine a classroom where:
instead of hearing ‘this is too hard’ you hear students having conversations based on their notes
instead of lecturing to a sea of bored faces you have collaborative note taking that embed skill building and actually teaches students to think critically
instead of the rest of your day being ruined when you see test scores you’re able to walk out the building with a pep in your step
instead of leaving the building feeling as wrung out as dehydrated Spongebob you have enough energy to make it to Zumba
Let’s GOOOO!!! I’m ready to hop in Rockstars!
After a decade in education, earning a PhD in science education, and investing myself in making science education more inclusive, welcoming, and joyful, I know students and teachers deserve infinitely more than endless test prep and rushing to cover all the standards just because the pacing guide said so.
That’s why I created Rockstars
For science teachers who are tired of feeling like a hamster running on a wheel- exhausting yourself to get nowhere
Because you can make an impact on students without being too exhausted to enjoy your life for 10 months each year
Hey! I’m Dr. J!
Rockstars is for you if you’re…
👉🏾a singleton tired of trying to troubleshoot and find solutions on your own
👉🏾 confident in the science but when it comes to getting it to stay in students heads you feel overwhelmed
👉🏾 on a team married to old stale ideas that don’t work and you want to empower students
👉🏾tired of beating yourself up over low test scores and feeling like nothing you’re doing is working
👉🏾ten years in and ready to infuse more student independence and critical thinking
👉🏾 struggling to support students and admin help is a myth
👉🏾a first year teacher and feel like you’re in over your head

Rockstars is primarily aimed at secondary (middle & high school) science teachers. However, the strategies I teach can be adapted for elementary and college (and I have used to teach a college class).
Teaching resources are general science or biology focused. My content expertise is in biology and chemistry. The teaching strategies are useful across science subject areas.
If you have specific concerns, email me at drj@sci-odyssey.com
