Simona Johnes is the visionary being the creation of our project. Johnes spent much of her career in the classroom working with students. And, after many years in the classroom, Johnes became a principal.

While Johnes enjoyed her new role, she never lost her passion for working with students and helping them succeed.

After a lot of thought, she decided to pursue creating a next generation curriculum to prepare high school students for future success. She left her position as a principal and developed her teaching portal.

Johnes used her years of experience in the classroom to guide in her creating an ideal curriculum that would help set students up for success in the 21st century. Understanding the growing importance of science and technology led Johnes to develop a curriculum rooted in their subjects. She also used her knowledge that students are more likely to be engaged in reading and writing tasks when they are of interest to them and have some relevance to connect each scientific concept with improving literacy skills.

Johnes worked to create a curriculum to help high school students build their literacy skills as they engage in learning and exploring scientific theories.
