In the realm of education, few can match the dedication and support provided by Kelly Sharrad our Geoscience Outreach officer. Her recent contributions to Earth and Environmental Science education in South Australia have been nothing short of impactful.
Bronwyn Dutch, Director of Outdoor Education at Pedare Christian College, encapsulated this impact perfectly:
“The support that Kelly Sharrad from Geoscience Pathways Project has offered me over the last 2 years has been invaluable. Introducing a new subject into a school is not an easy task, but she has provided all of the unit plans and teaching resources, taking away hours of preparation time for me, allowing me to focus on my class and teaching. She has also offered numerous PD opportunities which have been incredibly valuable. On top of that, she is always on hand to answer any questions I may have via email, and she also took the time to drive to my workplace to help me work through my Year 12 investigations, sharing her expertise, and allowing me to feel more confident with the feedback I can offer my students. Kelly is doing an amazing job at introducing Earth and Environmental Science into schools in SA, and I recommend that if your school has the opportunity to take on this subject, you should do so!”
Kelly’s support has simplified the integration of Earth and Environmental Science by providing essential resources and personalised guidance. Her professional development opportunities have further empowered educators, ensuring they are well-prepared to deliver high-quality instruction.
Kelly Sharrad’s commitment is not just enhancing how Earth and Environmental Science is taught but is also inspiring schools to embrace this crucial subject. For those considering this addition to their curriculum, Kelly’s expertise and support offer a compelling reason to take the leap into teaching EES!
