Tammy Wong-Bigelow

I have over 15 years of experience in the Education field. I started as a middle school teacher in 2005 and went on to teach high school and opportunity youth. I am passionate about project-based learning in STEAM education; providing guidance to students while maintaining high expectations, while believing that standardized testing has a place in education, also believing that students are more than a test and should be able to showcase their learning in a holistic way. I also worked for a semester as an adjunct professor. In 2016, I became an education consultant for a nationwide nonprofit. There, I created curriculum for Career Exploration and Career Planning and trainings for Job Corps Staff. I also participated in engagement and awareness meetings where I advocated for students and instructors alike. During COVID, I researched and authored a Best Practices for Remote Learning and a Remote Learning Guide for the program, and I assisted in transforming the in-person lesson plans to asynchronous training modules.

We have a new high school with CTE built in, but we need to train our students in more than just the job, they need financial education to help them understand if the job they are training for will help them make a livable wage.
