I have been a teacher for 27 years. I have always been interested in environmental education and always try to incorporate it into my classroom lessons. I teach in an elementary school PK-grade 5 and my current role is Special Education Teacher. I am also the Green School leader at my school in Southern Maryland.

Megan Schulz lives in Denver, Colorado, and is the Adult Programs Coordinator for Butterfly Pavilion. Being an environmental educator is a lifelong journey for her and something she works on improving daily. 

Megan received her bachelor's in Wildlife Biology from Colorado State University and is pursuing her masters in the Arts of Biology with Miami University Project Dragonfly. 

She has previously worked for the Denver Audubon as the Nature Center Naturalist, where she decided to start researching the role of empathy in environmental conservation.  

Erica is an assistant professor at the University of Colorado Denver in Responsive Literacy Education. As a former elementary teacher and administrator, and current teacher educator, Erica is committed to supporting activism, advocacy and environmental justice through literacy in PK-12 classrooms and in higher education. 

As a child I played in the stream near my house, ran around outside all the time and had lots of animals!  The formative years instilled a love of nature. I am a life long learner and educator having worked in traditional schools in four counties and a few states...now I am connecting with my head and my heart and have opened a Forest School in Florida- www.CuriousAndKind.org.  We offer joyful learning to children walking through elementary aged learning about ourselves, others and the world around us.

I teach 6th grade science in Fayetteville, NC. I strive to bring outdoor and environmental learning into the classroom, and my students into the outdoors.
