After 36 years as a K-8 Science and STEAM classroom teacher and 2 years getting my feet wet as a consultant, I am so excited to start my own consulting business.  Lee Marie Gruss, LLC is designed to, first and foremost, provide support to the classroom teacher.  

What are your needs and how can I support you wherever you are in your own learning journey?

Lee Gruss is a highly skilled educator that I have had the pleasure of observing as a mentor who modeled lessons for teachers in our building. She is an innovative educator that gets students and teachers excited about science through interactive lessons that challenge the students while meeting the individual needs of each child. She is creative, resourceful and fun! The students always asked when she was coming back to teach. I am looking forward to the professional development opportunities she will provide for our science teachers to help us strengthen our 21st century programming.
