Jennifer Nash

I am passionate about optimizing teaching and learning in both face-to-face and online education
settings. Recent interests include integrating the Universal Design for Learning Framework into online
instruction, facilitating hands-on science using picture books & the 5E Instructional Model in K-12, and using technology tools to support student learning in science, social studies, and STEM in K-12 and higher-education.
