Teaching Statement
With her diverse background in education spanning traditional academia, K-12 education, teacher professional development, and out-of-school, place-based learning, Dr. Jenn Page enjoys facilitating transformational learning opportunities that affirm people’s individual strengths and their personal experiences. The core of her work revolves around supporting educators to design and facilitate place-based education for students, whether that is working with the Hurricane Island Center for Science and Leadership staff or with classroom teachers on opportunities they will implement in their own schools. Jenn’s favorite thing about Hurricane Island is consistently the people she works with.
Before joining Hurricane Island, Jenn taught for two years in the School of Marine Sciences at the University of Maine as a post-doc followed by 5 years as a science instructor at Bangor High School in Maine. While at Bangor High, Jenn was a passionate Speech & Debate coach and helped develop the school’s rigorous STEM Academy.
Jenn holds a BS in Marine Science from the University of Maine and a PhD in Biology from the Georgia Institute of Technology where she studied the chemosensory tracking behavior of blue crabs. In addition to her work with Antioch and Hurricane Island she currently serves as a member of the Maine Environmental Education Association’s Board and on the University of Maine Honors College’s Board of Advisors. She is the High School Module Coach for the Maine Department of Education’s MOOSE project and a 2018 ee360 Community Fellow with the North American Association of Environmental Education (NAAEE).
When she is relaxing Jenn spends as much time at home as possible with her husband and their cat, Loki. She is an avid Bullet Journalist and planner and enjoys listening to podcasts while walking around her neighborhood.
