Lori LoRusso
Lori LoRusso is a Grades K and 2 classroom teacher with 22 years of teaching experience. She enjoys turning “traditional” lessons into scientific inquiry-based investigations through which she then guides her students. Some of her best experiences have been those in which she chose to frame the inquiry around an activity that had captivated her students’ attention when introduced into her classroom curriculum in previous years.
She holds a BA degree and Professional Diploma in Elementary Education and has taught for 22 years. Her teaching experience includes Kindergarten and Grade 2, both covering all content areas.
Ms. LoRusso delivered a talk to the National Science Education Association’s National Conference on Science Education in Anaheim, CA in 2006.
