Originally from India, Deepa has extensive experience teaching science in India, United States, Nigeria, China, and Vietnam. This will be her 7th year teaching at ISHCMC-AA. Through her experience, she has found that inquiry-based science programs, such as project-based science, significantly increases science concept learning on both lower cognitive level (recall) items and higher cognitive level (transfer and application) items. While teaching, she is a motivator, diagnostician, advisor, experimenter, researcher, collaborator, and learner. She likes hiking through the mountain, relaxing on a tropical beach, and going on boat rides with friends.
