Past President: Christopher Roemmele

I have served as President and Vice President, and Executive Committee Liaison.

How does your engagement in NAGT and other professional experience/expertise inform your goals as a leader in NAGT?
I am a teacher, and a teacher education, and I do educational research.  My experience as a K-12 teacher, teaching geosciences, working with pre-service teachers, and performing research I feel are an ideal fit for TED leadership, where we should have a dual focus in improving geoscience teaching at ALL levels, and advocating for more geoscience classes and programs at ALL levels K-16.
