Greeting! My name is Lauren Burke. I am from Verona, WI and currently teach at Monroe Middle School in Monroe, WI. This is my third year as a 7th and 8th grade science teacher. I am truly blessed to work with the amazing women in our Science Department at MMS-they seriously kick butt! Prior to MMS, I taught 6th grade science, 7th grade science, physical science, environmental science, biology, and earth science in South Carolina. I can't wait for you to attend our session on how we are bringing the engineering design to our classrooms with monthly challenges!
