Lance Billingsley is a Southern California educator, outdoor enthusiast and former ocean lifeguard who makes science something students do, not just read about. He holds an M.Ed. from UC San Diego and California teaching credentials, including high school biology and life science. He has taught elementary and high school students in San Diego County, spent several years at the Green School in Bali teaching hands-on courses like bamboo robotics and permaculture, and led the farm lab at an Oceanside elementary school. He is also the founder of Cultivated Classrooms, a nonprofit that brings garden- and farm-based learning into schools.
With Lance, students dissect squid, design wave-energy devices and grow their own food, learning biology, ecology and engineering through real projects. He believes strong relationships unlock each student's talents: "With a strong relationship and understanding, come the greatest joys and growth in learning!"
In Lance’s words
I believe every student has a unique talent, and our job as educators is to help uncover and nurture these talents.
From supporting my students in California classrooms to teaching immersive math and science project-based learning courses in the jungles of Bali at the Green School, I have always been passionate about experiential learning.
A feel that a teacher's strengths lie in their ability to connect and understand our student learner's passions, so that we can build the strongest possible relationships with them. With a strong relationship and understanding, come the greatest joys and growth in learning!
