About Jocelyn

Jocelyn is a former Biology and Scientific Research and Design teacher at Lamar High School. A native of Sacramento, California, she received her Bachelor of Science in Biology with a focus on Cellular and Molecular Biology from Benedict College in Columbia, Carolina. She has since completed coursework at Texas Christian University and graduated with her M.Ed. in Educational Administration from Concordia University Texas in Austin, Texas in December of 2022. She now lives in Colorado where she is a practicing embryologist.

Before entering formal education, Jocelyn worked in outdoor education at the Botanical Research Institute of Texas. She served as the Educational Program Coordinator and Field School Coordinator. The BRIT Field School served student populations from the Morningside Community in Fort Worth ISD and was funded by a grant from the Rainwater Foundation. After leaving BRIT, Jocelyn taught in Keene ISD, Crowley ISD, and now Arlington ISD.

In her most recent position, she served as an On-level/Advanced Biology and Scientific Research & Design teacher as well as Biology Department Level Lead. She also received Arlington ISD HS Teacher of the Month in January of 2023. She has taught several life and physical sciences including biology, anatomy & physiology, aquatic science, environmental science, chemistry, and IPC. She also coached women’s volleyball and basketball.

In addition to her time serving in education, Jocelyn also spent time as the lead andrologist/Jr. embryologist at a local infertility clinic.

About the lesson

Science is messy. I believe that learning can be that way too. My approach is to always look at the big picture - the entire concept & the entire student. My goal is to meet the student where they are in terms of understanding and comprehending and work with them to find ways to fill in the gaps in meaningful and personal ways.

My investigations start with figuring out where we are in terms of understanding: what makes sense & what doesn't. My goal is to pinpoint then where the misunderstanding or the miseducation occurred. Once we identify that, we begin our journey of scaffolding our newfound information with things that we already know in order to make lasting connections.

My role is a facilitator. I am a guide in understanding and growth. My goal is to help individuals learn how they learn. To develop a set of skills that will serve them in whatever content area and capacity they may need in the future because, if we really think about it: we will always need to learn something new. Modes of understanding may vary - modeling, note-taking, drawing, memorizing - but the desired result remains the same: providing the appropriate and effective tools so that learners are able to do it themselves.

Perfect! I love Jocelyn, I have never had a tutor before in my life and she has set the standard to tutors. She has a great way of not making me feel stupid when I ask questions or voice my concerns. And has helped me boost my confidence in the subject. I love that she gives me plenty of new ways to approach the material as well as how to study in itself. She never fails to reassure me that I am doing a great job and to not give up. I wish she was the actual instructor to the class I’m taking because she is seriously so great.

Jocelyn's response
Sheroya is a delight to work with. She is very aware of her needs and is very open to new perspectives and approaches. She is easy to speak to and guide through her learning process. She communicates promptly and always sends information ahead of time if she needs to address something specific. I enjoy helping Sheroya achieve her academic goals.
