Outstanding EducatorBarbara Torrey
Next Generation: Cord Blood would like to applaud Barbara Torrey, K-12 Science Coordinator at Gilbert Public Schools. There is one thing we all want for our children. . . opportunity! For young children and teenagers, opportunity often comes through school and, if you are lucky, great teachers. Barbara Torrey is one of these outstanding teachers who welcomes and encourages opportunities for students. Barbara was nominated for Administrator of the Year in 2022. She previously served as the STEM Coordinator and Biomedical Science Instructor at Red Mountain High School in the Mesa Public School district. Named Teacher of the Year in 2012, Barbara was also a recipient of the ASBA/ASA Golden Bell Award in 2015. Barbara has over 24 years of teaching experience ranging from freshmen in high school to seniors in college. Barbara ignites sparks, both in students and in fellow educators. Witnessing a student's eyes light up with understanding, or empowering a teacher to embrace the three dimensions of science teaching, fuels her mission to transform science education. She equips teachers with the tools and confidence through collaborative workshops, engaging professional development sessions, and personalized coaching. Barbara believes that true understanding comes from connecting curriculum to current events, students' lives, and integrating career opportunities. Beyond the classroom, Barbara enjoys nurturing her own garden. When not exploring nature, she cherishes time with family and friends, always on the lookout for the next adventure, both in life and in learning. Barbara Torrey has recognized how relevant the topic of cord blood is to students. Regardless of whether or not they are hoping to pursue a STEM career, the use of cord blood and related cellular therapies are here to stay. We need to understand it. We need to know how we can take advantage of new treatments for our families and ourselves. Inevitably, our children, Ms. Torrey's students, will benefit the most from this evolution in medicine. They are the NEXT GENERATION and they deserve to know. Thank you for making sure that your students learn about the latest in cellular therapies and non-controversial stem cells. Thank you for making Next Generation: Cord Blood part of your curriculum! |
