Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning for Student Success

Bradbury joined the Appalachian faculty in 2005. Her background is in science education and she teaches science methods courses at the undergraduate and graduate level as well as the internship course during Block two. Her research interests focus on integrating language arts and science and multimodal science teaching. She believes that is important to make personal and caring connections with students. Bradbury aims to make her teaching relevant for preservice elementary teachers by modeling the type of experience-based science instruction that she wants them to implement with students in their own classrooms. To stay current, she spends time working with local elementary teachers and implementing science lessons with elementary students so that she can use the experience to inform her teaching practice at the university level.
