Jane brought her extensive experience with Middle School Science to MBS in 2021. She has taught middle school at Montclair Kimberley Academy, The Brearley School and most recently served as department chair at Elizabeth Morrow School. Jane holds a B.A. in Spanish Literature and Language/Pre Med from Columbia University and an M.S. in Biological Sciences from Rutgers University. Jane states that “middle school students hit the sweet spot of exuberant curiosity paired with growing intellectual ability. Teaching science to middle schoolers is all about harnessing that curiosity and exuberance, creating structures to foster and capture their intellectual understandings, and providing the security and support for each student as an individual.”
