Hello, 

My name is Amber R Good and I am entering my 19th year of teaching. Pior to moving into the STEM Faciitator postition, I had taught prek, kindergarten and 1st grade. My ability to teach math and reading through science and social studies was a big factor in aquiring the postion. I now work with prek-6th grade and learn something new and exciting every year. The units that we are encouraged to buid and explore with the students enriches what the stuents are learning by giving them real world applications with content knowledge practices embedded. 

I am Amanda Dzifa Alokpa. On May 11, 2024, I graduated from  Duke University School of Law with a Master of Laws and a Certificate in Environmental & Energy law. I will be working in the summer with the Institute for Governance & Sustainable Development as a summer clerk.

I am passionate about combatting climate change, and contributing to this by educating young students and leaders about how they can influence environmental policy change.

I have more than 20 years experience teaching middle school, high school and college-level interdisciplinary science courses while acquiring science skills outside the classroom in environmental education, the National Park Service, and Bioinformatics. My newest venture is owning a nature-based early childhood education school in North Carolina.

  I am a student of the environment, my goal is to help others see the beauty and importance of the resources we have around us.
