Emily Cayton

Emily is currently an assistant professor at the Campbell University School of Education.  She obtained a BS from East Carolina University, an MED and a PHD from NC State University.  She has certifications for 6-12 Science, 6-12 Math and K-12 AIG.  She taught science for 8 years in Wilson County Schools before attending graduate school at NC State and becoming a Science Education professor. While at NC State, she participated in various science education research experiences, both in the classroom and in informal settings. She has presented science education research at numerous state, national and international conferences.

 

In my role as Assistant Professor at Campbell University, I work with students to promote science teaching and science education in our area. If elected to this position, I hope to assist all science teachers in my district and help spread the joy of science education. Since becoming a member of NCSTA, I have never been contacted by my District Director. If elected to this NCSTA board position, I would reach out to the teachers in District 3, determine their needs and advocate for those needs at the state level.
