As a physics education researcher, Valerie Otero is driven to continue to improve the way science is taught, at all levels, and believes in progressive learning environments that enable students to use and develop the critical and creative intelligence they already have. “That moment when students start to feel good about themselves is when they start learning,” she said. “Every student has a right to a decent science education. Knowing that so many smart kids are left out of science or grow to despise science breaks my heart. I won’t tolerate it and that’s why I do what I do.” This video is fourth in a series highlighting CU-Boulder faculty.
