Jennifer Klos
Jennifer’s deep curiosity about the natural world inspired her to pursue her passion for science in college. After a unique opportunity assisting a biology professor with her studies on Zebra Mussels in Lake Erie, Jennifer decided that she wanted to someday give her own students opportunities such as these. Today, Jennifer is a middle school/high school gifted coordinator and science teacher who has more than 20 years in the profession. She is passionate about science education and helping gifted students explore their interests and discover talents.
Jennifer earned a B.S. from Penn State in secondary education and has four teaching certificates. She has a graduate certificate in Environmental Science and a Master of Science in science education.
In addition to teaching at the secondary level, Jennifer enjoys working with graduate students. She taught courses for two master’s programs through the National Institute for Professional Practice in conjunction with Wilkes University. Jennifer also worked with an international team to bring to life a TED-Ed on invasive species. She has also worked as consultant and curriculum writer, working for a variety of educational companies. Jennifer is a mom to three boys and watching them participate in their activities is one of her greatest joys. She loves to travel, play with her dog, and spend time in nature.
