My name is Natasha Nurse, and I’m a veteran educator with nearly two decades of experience rooted in classroom practice. I currently teach, with my focus centered on inquiry-driven learning and curriculum design. My professional background includes serving as an instructional coach, where I partnered with teachers to strengthen instructional practice grounded in how students learn. Inquiry and human-centered AI guide how I approach teaching and learning.

Across classrooms, I have led inquiry-based efforts and designed interdisciplinary curriculum grounded in authentic classroom work. I focus on helping ideas move into daily practice and paying close attention to how student thinking develops.

My work has been featured in Newsday and The Long Beach Herald and shared at professional conferences.

I believe students think more deeply when learning invites curiosity and gives their thinking room to grow. My work focuses on creating learning environments that make sense in real classrooms and hold up over time.
