Description: Jean Flanagan is a science educator and writer living and working in Colorado Springs.
Hello! I’m currently a Science Educator and the Director of Resources for Science Teaching and Learning at BSCS Science Learning , a nonprofit organization based in Colorado Springs, CO. At BSCS we conduct education research, provide professional learning and leadership development for educators, and develop instructional materials. My focus at BSCS is in instructional materials design and development, with particular interests in the biological sciences and design for social and environmental justice.
Prior to BSCS I spent about 10 years in Washington, DC, working first for AAAS Project 2061 and later for the Smithsonian Institution. In my free time you’ll find me out on Colorado’s plentiful hiking trails with my camera, my partner Oliver, and our rescue dog, Sapphie.
I respectfully acknowledge that the land I live and work on is the traditional territory of the Jicarilla Apache , the Ute , and the Cheyenne Nations.
