About This Activity
Comparative Anatomy Dissection labs are used to study the similarities and differences between different species of animals. This class will focus on informative dissections of different phyla of the animal kingdom, led by a former veterinary pathologist with 6 years of professional experience dissecting animals and performing diagnostic necropsies. Students will be participating in active dissections each week and asked to handle specimens with appropriate protective equipment provided. Students will build a binder of dissection information that will pair well with Anatomy and Physiology or life science classes.

My teaching style incorporates student guided inquiry based learning, Socratic instruction, and adaptive lessons. In addition to my work in public schools I have worked as a private tutor for pre-med, pre-law and business school test prep company, The Princeton Review, as well as working as their Assistant Director for several years.
