KAREN JOHNS

Science Teacher Wilandra Rise Primary School
Victoria, Australia
Karen has been a primary teacher for over 4 decades. Her passion for Environmental Science has lead her to work with the likes of CSIRO, Edith Cowan University (Perth) and the University of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). During these experiences she taught via remote live link ups back into the classroom where students could engage directly with the research and scientists. Karen believes developing tangible links between science education and the student’s world will spark young people’s curiosities to further understand and engage with science in a meaningful manner. Karen is excited to forge new connections through Homeward Bound 2019.
