About Me
Hi Everybody and Welcome!
My name is William Green, and I am a retired educator with over 20 years of experience in science education. Even in retirement, I remain deeply excited about the opportunity to be a science teacher—because teaching and science naturally go hand in hand. Each day brings a new adventure, a new question, and a new opportunity to explore the world.
I have taught Middle School Science, High School Agriculture Science, Biology, and Aviation Science, as well as College Biology and Botany. I have experience teaching in both the American, British, and International Baccalaureate Educational Systems. Prior to teaching, I had the honor of serving in the U.S. military, working as an agricultural consultant, and flew as a commercial pilot. Those experiences are what shaped much of the “hows and whys” of my approach to teaching. I believe strongly that students must be given the opportunity to think-think-think while engaged in the processes of doing science. I believe that laboratory activities are an essential component of the science education, but those experiences can't be labs wherein students simply follow directions. The activity must require students to be inquiry thinkers, interjecting their own skills and intellect into the process. In short, students must be allowed to discover and experience science.
Originally from the state of Arizona, I have lived in Texas, Kansas, and New Mexico. I have been teaching internationally for 15 years. I have taught in Saudi Arabia, Malawi, Venezuela, and Atlanta, Georgia. I enjoy four-wheeling, hiking through the mountains, fishing, climbing, diving, or just relaxing on a tropical beach.
Allow me to add that I enjoy spending time with every one of my students. I also hope that I can continue to be a resource for them in the future.
