Solmaz Khodaeifaal is the Programs Director for Science Circles and has a background in Atomic Applied Physics. Before coming to Canada, she worked as a mathematics and physics teacher in public and private high schools in Tehran. She has taught IB Physics High Level and Standard Level. Since 2011 she has been working with the International Baccalaureate Organization and its Diploma/Career-Related Program. Throughout her master’s degree completion at the University of British Columbia, she was involved in a number of field-based projects and experiences in Education. She also holds a master’s degree in Business Administration, MBA. All her background encouraged her in pursuing a doctoral program in Science Education with a particular focus on Curriculum and Pedagogy at Simon Fraser University. Her focus is on students’ engagement, their active roles in learning, and how adolescents can learn quantum mechanics at their early ages. With the experience of teaching physics and mathematics for various levels from elementary to high school, she strongly believes and emphasizes that youths—8th and 9th graders—are able to develop their learning of quantum mechanics with a focussed, well-designed, and aimed curriculum on waves principles and basics of quantum physics—wave-quantum-curriculum. She practices different creative pedagogical approaches in teaching and believes that learning occurs as a consequence of an individual’s direct activities and personal experiences. Solmaz thrives in educational environments with students, teachers, instructors, facilitators, educators, and whoever is passionate about making a difference and having a positive influence on learning and teaching mathematical sciences like physics.
