About Me
Sylvia Scoggin earned her B.S. in Civil Engineering from the University of Colorado, Boulder, and a Masters’ in Business Administration from the University of Oregon, Eugene. When she came to Reno in 1992, she worked part-time in the Alternative Education program at McQueen High School, helping students recuperate math and science credits in self-guided units. This ignited her passion for teaching. After earning her teaching credential, she taught for twenty-one years at McQueen High School, teaching classes such as Biology, Science Inquiry, Physical Science, Environmental Science, and AP Physics 1. She served six years as Department Leader, mentored first year science teachers, oversaw pre-service teachers, and established the school’s first STEAM club. In 2004, she earned her National Board Certification in Science, Biology, and then proceeded to devote the next eleven years to facilitate the journey of K-12 teachers in various content areas to becoming Board Certified. After recertifying in 2014, she focused on assisting teachers who were recertifying.
