Meet Our Instructors
Holly McTernan stumbled across Modeling during a brief visit to ASU in the summer of 2007. She returned in 2008 to begin the MNS degree, taking Mechanics (Whalen and Ash at OSU), CASTLE (McNamara), E&M (Crofton), Light (Schober), and Chemistry (Dukerich). After earning the degree in 2011, she looked for ways to bring Modeling Workshops to the Cleveland-area and was trained as a leader 2014. After working together leading a Mechanics Workshop near Pittsburgh in 2014, Jess Dykes helped Holly bring Modeling Workshops to Cleveland in 2015 (CASTLE) and 2016 (Mechanics). Holly has since worked with Larry Dukerich and Michael Crofton helping lead Chemistry and E&M workshops in Cleveland during the 2018 and 2019 summers. Originally a Chemistry teacher, Holly teaches full time at St. Edward HS, a private boy's Catholic school in Lakewood, on the western border of Cleveland. She teaches physics at 3 levels (AP C, honors, and regular) and has also taught IB physics.
Jess Dykes has been Modeling since 2004, after an intensive one-week whirlwind training. He later attended ASU in the summer of 2005 to get the full Modeling Mechanics training (under Jeff Hengesbach and Kelli Warble), and has since taken other Modeling courses (with Larry Dukerich). Since that time, Jess has become a Modeling Workshop leader and has led more than a dozen workshops since 2008. Jess and Holly co-led both a Modeling CASTLE workshop (2015) and Modeling Mechanics workshops (2014 & 2016). Jess was a co-developer of the Michigan Physics First Modeling Curriculum and over the last 3 years has been involved as a co-developer of the new Computational Modeling Physics First (CMPF) curriculum in coordination with AAPT and Bootstrap Algebra, and co-leader of the CMPF workshop with Melissa Girmscheid. Jess teaches in a suburban district in SE Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia. He teaches all levels of Physics, from 9th grade Special Ed through AP Physics with juniors and seniors.
