Barbara Lazar loves working with middle school kids! Her classroom is a place
where students make connections between what they know and what they are
learning. With an undergraduate degree from Illinois State University in
middle level education and a masters degree from the University of New Mexico
in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis on middle level education, she
has spent most of her adult life working in middle schools teaching English,
social studies, and science, as well as working in the UNM teacher education
program and as an Instructional Coach. Her experience includes taking students
on tours of Washington DC, New York City, and Boston, as well as travel in
Central America (as a training director for Amigos de las Americas), South
America, and Europe. As a member of the Teacher Advisory Board of the National
Energy Education Development (NEED) project, she is also active in working
with both students and adults in learning more about energy and energy
conservation. She and her husband, also a middle school teacher, are the
parents of three delightful daughters: two who are teachers, and one who is a
high school student.
