Deeper Learning New York

Dr. Jared Fox is a learning environment expert with over two decades of experience in education, including 17 years as a New York City public school science teacher. His consulting practice combines his research background and practical experience to help schools and organizations design strategic programming and curriculum aligned to their mission and vision, with a focus on those at the intersection of science, the environment, and social justice. Past and current partners include Ulster BOCES, Weill Cornell Medical Center, New York Botanical Gardens, and New York City Public Schools. As a teacher, Jared held the positions of science department chair, instructional coach, mentor teacher, and member of the instructional leadership team. He co-founded the award-winning Clean Air Green Corridor initiative, a Black and Brown youth-led movement to address the environmental injustices his students and their families face in the New York City neighborhood of Washington Heights. Jared has been recognized as a Math for America (MƒA) Master Teacher, Academy for Teachers Fellow, the Sloan Award winner for Excellence in Teaching Science and Mathematics, a Times Square New Year's Eve Waterford Crystal Ball Honoree, and a WE ACT for Environmental Justice Advocate. His doctoral research focused on how mobile science labs impact urban students' attitudes toward science and was inspired by his service as a board member for BioBus, Inc., an organization dedicated to bringing high-quality science education experiences to communities and individuals traditionally underrepresented in STEM. Outside of his work, Jared loves spending time with his family, kicking it on the soccer field, cycling around NYC, and sharing all things related to his book - Learning Environment: Inspirational Actions, Approaches, and Stories from the Science Classroom, an actionable guidebook for those interested in Deeper Learning best practices.
