Rebekka Joslin teaches in Waterford’s Science Department as a Middle and Upper School science teacher and serves as the curator of the Mark Bromley Nature Lab. She graduated in 2006 from Dartmouth College with a Masters of Science in soil science. Her research brought her to the far southern reaches of the planet where she studied biotic and abiotic factors influencing nutrient cycling in the Dry Valleys of Antarctica.
Bekka started her teaching career in New Hampshire, where she taught, coached and served as New Hampton School’s sustainability coordinator for ten years. Her passion for teaching beyond the curriculum and engaging students in self-reflection and hands-on learning is what keeps her inspired and enthusiastic. At Waterford, Bekka teaches a variety of science courses, develops and delivers curriculum across grade levels and disciplines in the nature lab, and works with colleagues as an instructional coach as part of Waterford’s commitment to teaching excellence.
Bekka is joined at Waterford by her husband, Justin (science and math teacher), and her two daughters. In her free time, Bekka loves to explore the outdoors with her family, camping, skiing, biking, hiking, swimming and just plain sitting and observing.
