Colette Dryden |
Colette is the elementary science and math specialist for the Richland One School District in South Carolina and has taught both 3rd and 5th grade. Colette has wanted to be a teacher since she was in elementary school. Her interest in science came much later when she took a class in Environmental Geology in graduate school... because it was a free course... and found she LOVED it! Since taking that class, she received her Masters Degree in Science from the University of South Carolina. Colette has participated in several research projects with the Helmuth Lab including traveling to Florida to do coral research as part of an Aquarius mission and Oregon to do rocky intertidal research. Colette continues her association with the Helmuth Lab by regularly lecturing on science education in Brian Helmuth's courses. |
