| Her favorite book of the Bible | Danielle’s favorite book of the Bible is any of the books by Paul the Apostle, but her absolute favorite of his writings is the book of Galatians. Paul teaches that we are justified through faith, not by works. Our works should make our faith apparent, but are not what get us to Heaven. So no matter how many times we mess up and drift away from God, it is our faith that justifies us, not what we do. |
| Education & Certification | Danielle earned her Bachelor’s of Science in General Biology in 2010, then she went on to earn her Master’s of Science in Curriculum and Instruction online in 2020. She is currently certified in grade 6-12 for science and biology. |
| Experience | Danielle has worked in a traditional brick and mortar school for 7 years and taught online for 1 year. Most of her experience is in middle school, 6th-8th general science and high school biology. She has also taught conservation biology programs at two different zoos as a coordinator and education assistant. |
| What Her Classroom is Like | Mrs. Mortimore’s classroom is engaging and fun. Students feel welcomed to ask questions no matter how silly they may seem. Students are also asked questions quite often to encourage participation. Every lesson starts with an overarching question that students will answer and instruction is hands-on and phenomena based. |
| When She’s not Teaching or Working… | When Danielle is not working, she is often brainstorming on future lessons/courses. She enjoys reading fantasy fiction, playing videos games with her husband, walking their dog, and attending church. |
