Leon Sheffield Elementary School STEM Teacher Heather Coon

"I am motivated professionally by the THRILL of discovery. I encourage over 300 third, fourth, and fifth-graders to take chances, think outside the box, and problem-solve in a lab where it is understood that mistakes are just stepping stones to learning."
