Dr. Erica Colón is a National Board Certified Teacher with over twelve years of
teaching experience in 6th-12th grade secondary science, including Physical
Science, Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science, and Marine Science. In 2008 Erica
earned her Master’s in Educational Administration, but quickly realized her
passion was working with science teachers. Erica returned to earn her Doctorate
in Curriculum and Instruction in 2011, and through one of life’s unexpected
turns, she founded Nitty Gritty Science, LLC and has reached tens of thousands
of science teachers all around the globe! In 2020, a global pandemic changed the
course of history, quickly changing our daily lives in all aspects, and in the
scope of education it changed how teachers taught and how students learned.
Everywhere educators faced pandemic-driven remote learning that they had to
navigate on their own, practically overnight. Looking for ways to support
science teachers, Dr. Colón gathered science educators, communicators, and field
scientists to learn from one another, as well as share ideas, struggles, and
perseverance of added workloads and in doing so, brought together a team of
champions! Champions For Science continues as an educator’s conference series
where extraordinary leaders, creators, and innovators in science education come
together to focus on the most important matter – our students –the future
