She has experience teaching students from elementary age through college. Her research interests include science education in urban schools, professional development, cultural applied anthropology, and cultural competency through science education professional development. Dr. Blackmon advocates the whole child approach to developing students into self-sufficient, motivated, life-long learners. She has always used proven educational techniques to instruct teachers and students. She believes that the math and science education process should advance the intellectual, emotional, cultural, social, and spiritual development of all learners.
