Jodi Wilder, EdS

Big Shanty Intermediate School

As a teacher for the past 27 years, I have worked with so many

students in grades K-5 and recently started loving a new aspect of
teaching—SCIENCE! I started out teaching general education in
Maryland and then moved to Georgia to continue my career. I started
teaching special education in grades K-5 with Cobb County in 2006 and
moved to Big Shanty in 2016. With the school’s focus on STEM and the
curiosity and enthusiasm of the students and teachers, I opened up my
mind to a new love of science. With the STEM investigations in the
class and starting a girl’s science club called GEMS (Girls Excelling in
Math and Science), I am learning more and more every day about the
incredible world we live in through the eyes of young scientists! With
the knowledge gained through KSU-MSP, I have become a better
teacher and look forward to more successful and engaging school years
looking through the magnifying glass at our awesome world!
