Judy Jones

Instructor

Judy Jones holds degrees in The Biological Sciences and Secondary Science Education from Stanford University. She has National Board Certification in Adolescent and Young Adult Science. She taught biology in Pennsylvania and in California in the 1960s. After a stint as an “at home mother” with her three children, she returned to teaching in 1982 in the Chapel Hill Carrboro Schools.

As well as teaching chemistry, biology and AVID classes over the years, she has been very involved in curriculum development for the state of North Carolina. A current project involves writing a detailed alignment curriculum for biology. She is also the teacher and author of a curriculum for a summer workshop for teachers (SITE). She greatly enjoys her role as an active mentor to new teachers, student teachers and teachers online through eMSS. She has served as chair of the North Carolina Professional Teaching Standards Commission and chaired the subcommittee that developed the state teacher’s working condition standards (the basis for the working conditions survey distributed to school personnel every 18 months). She has written many articles and lesson ideas for The Teachers Network in New York City.
