Hello, District 7 GSTA Members!

With great enthusiasm, I get to serve as your District 7 Director. I am Dr. Tonya Woolfolk, and I look forward to bringing my experience and deep commitment to science education in hopes of inspiring and supporting our community of educators. I come to you all rooted in science, with an undergraduate degree in Chemistry. Falling in love with teaching, which led me to pursue an alternative teaching certification, was the best thing that ever happened to me!

I currently serve as the Coordinator of Science for grades K-5 in the Houston County School District. There I manage the science curriculum for 24 elementary schools and provide professional learning for over 1,000 teachers and administrators. My background includes roles as a high school science teacher, department chair, and assistant principal. In addition, I have contributed to education at the collegiate level as an instructor for the K-5 Science Endorsement with the Middle Georgia Regional Educational Service Agency and as an adjunct professor at Mercer University. Extending my leadership beyond the classroom, I have served as the Georgia Science Supervisors Association president and been an active member of the National Science Teaching Association’s Committee on Coordination and Supervision of Science Teaching.

My professional journey is marked by a passion for science and a dedication to fostering environments where all can thrive. With a rich background in instructional design, professional development, and strategic planning, I am committed to guiding District 7 toward new heights of excellence in science education. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any ways I can support you and provide opportunities to move science education forward in our district.

I can't wait to learn with you!
