Meet the Leaders:
Jess Dykes has been employing Modeling Instruction in the classroom since 2004. Since 2008, Jess has been leading/co-leading Modeling Instruction workshops every summer in Mechanics, Physics First Mechanics, Introduction to Modeling Instruction, Modeling Instruction with C.A.S.T.L.E., Electricity and Magnetism and more recently with Computational Modeling Physics First with Bootstrap (CMPF-B). Since 2017, Jess has been involved in the development and refinement of the CMPF-B materials, and has been leading workshops in CMPF-B since 2018.
Jess teaches in Ridley School District, a small suburb community of Philadelphia, PA, where he has been employed since 2004. At Ridley, Jess has taught using Modeling methods in all levels of Physics/Physical Science from special education courses to Advanced Placement.
