Jon Bender has been a science educator since 2004. He has worked with students ages 13 to 50+, teaching subjects ranging from middle school conceptual physics to college engineering statics. In addition to time spent in his classroom “laboratory,” Jon has also published education materials, and collaborated with physics and engineering education faculty at Seattle Pacific University, the University of California at Berkeley, California Polytechnic, Boise State University, and the University Colorado in Boulder.
The bulk of his professional work has focused on attempting to empower students – shift learners’ locus of control inward – through student-centered, process-intensive curriculum design and the careful cultivation of classroom culture (CCCC). Jon has a Masters in science teaching with a physics focus and is currently working on a second Masters in engineering.
