Jean Flanagan

Hello! I'm a science educator and writer, currently based in Portland, Oregon. I serve as Director of Resources for Science Teaching and Learning at BSCS Science Learning, a nonprofit organization that conducts educational research, provides professional learning and leadership development for educators, and develops instructional materials. In particular, I focus on the design and development of instructional experiences in that prioritize interest and relevance to learners and make learning about the biological sciences meaningful in everyday and civic life. In my free time you’ll find me reading, running, or hiking with my partner Oliver and our two rescue dogs.
