Noyce Scholar Profile

Rachel Kuhne

Undergraduate major or graduate field of study: Biological Science

Subject area(s) and grade level teaching focus: Biology, grades 9-12

Category of scholarship/fellowship:
Noyce Scholar

Name of Noyce institution:
Florida State University FSU-Teach

Current academic or teaching status:
Junior

School and school district:
PACE Center for Girls, Leon County Schools

Background:

I was a chemistry major until I found that I enjoyed biology more than chemistry. Yet, I still have this passion for chemistry that extends beyond my comprehension and makes me want to be certified in chemistry so that I can pass this passion onto my students.

Why do you want to teach:

I want to teach so that I can inspire students to enjoy and love science like my high school chemistry teacher did for me.

Describe a memorable teaching experience:

A memorable experience was when I was teaching third graders about simple machines and helped them to understand a concept that is no longer placed in the elementary-school standards.

What does the Noyce program mean to you:

The Noyce program is providing an opportunity to gain more experience teaching students in situations that are very different from those in the school I attended.
