Heather Milo brings over 10 years of experience in both formal and informal science education spaces that vary from middle school science teaching to working as a health educator in rural and urban communities. She earned her Masters of Science in Science Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Wisconsin – Madison, during which she mentored pre-service teachers and researched meaningful student engagement with the science and engineering practices. Her research on teacher learning and meaningful science pedagogy have since informed the development of a national STEM Professional Development program and continues to inform her work at the Institute for School Partnership as the Instructional Specialist. During her free time, you can see Heather running around University City trying to keep up with her twin toddler girls.
