Past Member Spotlights![]() Julie Moore is an award-winning science teacher with over 15 years of teaching experience and a deep-seeded passion for student success in and out of the classroom. The 2017 Kentucky Science Teacher Association’s Elementary Science Teacher of the Year, Moore served on state and district development teams for curriculum maps, skills rubrics and assessments and has authored district-wide science curriculum adopted in Kentucky. She has presented her work at various conferences and workshops, including Literacy Research Association, Kentucky Science Teacher Association, Bluegrass Writing Project, and Kentucky Reading Project. Moore combines her understanding of science concepts with other disciplines and subjects. Her students learn to connect classroom learning, develop critical thinking skills and apply classroom learning to the reality of their lives and communities. Perhaps her most unique skill is illustrating how seemingly disconnected subjects like science and the arts are, in fact, intertwined. This helps her shine in her current role as a 4th-6th grade science teacher at the School for the Creative and Performing Arts of the Bluegrass (SCAPA). She serves as both the Elementary Team Leader and Elementary Science Representative at SCAPA. A graduate of Roanoke College (BS – Mathematics), Midway College (BA – Elementary Education) and the University of Kentucky (MA – Curriculum and Instruction), Moore has worked in a variety of classroom settings, kindergarten through sixth grade. She also worked as a Research Assistant and a University Student Teacher Supervisor at University of Kentucky. She is certified in Kentucky in Elementary Education and Literacy for K-12 and has a Literacy Specialist Endorsement from the University of Kentucky’s Curriculum and Instruction Program. Moore is also a Subject Matter Expert for Lego Education and made a significant contribution in the development of the LEGO Education Professional Development digital experience. ![]() ![]() ![]() Rico's Teaching Tips |
