Justin Williams

Category of scholarship/fellowship:
Noyce Scholar

Name of Noyce institution:
University of Rio Grande SEOCEMS

School and school district:
N/A

Background:

I have an Associates Degree in Fish and Wildlife Management from Hocking Technical College. I worked at Woodland Altars Environmental Education Center for 5 years teaching children about nature. I also worked at Indiana University’s Bradford Woods Environmental Education Program for 1 season.

Why do you want to teach:

I love science and like to teach people about it. I enjoy seeing the faces of students light up when they learn what it is that I am teaching them. Teaching is a very rewarding experience, and I am glad that I have chosen it as a career.

Describe a memorable teaching experience:

When I was just starting out at Woodland Altars, I was very nervous about teaching. I knew a lot about nature, but I had no idea how to teach. After a brief training period, I was sent off into the woods with a group of students. I loved it! That was the moment that I knew I wanted to become a teacher.

What does the Noyce program mean to you:

The Noyce program is great because it helps science and math education students succeed in becoming great teachers. Students across the country benefit as a result of this.
