Summary
David Savory is an experienced educator and curriculum developer with over two decades of practice designing hands-on, inquiry-driven science learning for children, pre-service teachers, and public audiences. Currently a Sessional Instructor at UBC's Faculty of Education, he blends classroom teaching with program design—having created award-winning exhibits, online science resources, and immersive teacher residencies that prioritize experiential, child-centred pedagogy. He also oversees metrics and data analysis at Aunt Leah's Place, translating program data into grants and service improvements while managing a team that reconnects at-risk youth with education. Comfortable operating at the intersection of pedagogy, outreach, and operations, David brings a rare combination of large-program coordination (fields, stadiums, leagues) and deep content expertise in science education. Colleagues describe him as driven by a simple measure of success: if it doesn't help people grow, it's not worth doing.
