âAll you need is science.â
This was the mantra that Angela Toczylowskiâs mother, a science teacher, imprinted in her mind from an early age. The statement was more than a play on a catchy Beatlesâ song, but a reminder that a methodical approach to life can be applied to everything we do.
This understanding of life and the world around her was Toczylowskiâs inspiration for pursuing the field of education and the study of science herself.
Following in her motherâs footsteps, Toczylowski currently teaches eighth grade science at Dubray Middle School in the Fort Zumwalt School District. Her approach to teaching is simple: âWe need creative problem-solvers. We need people who can work together and bounce ideas off of each other to create solutions to real world problems,â she said. âI love facilitating this in my classroom.â
