TEACHING CAREER IN BRIEF<br />
I earned a degree from the József Attila University (University of Szeged) as both<br />
a biology teacher and a biologist with a specialization in ecology. I began my<br />
teaching career as a part-time biology teacher at the Dugonics András Piarist<br />
Grammar School in Gödöllő, moving on to the Premonstratensian (Norbertine)<br />
Grammar School in the same town in <strong>19</strong>98. I taught biology to students within<br />
the regular curriculum and advanced elective courses in biology for those<br />
preparing to study the subject at university as well as other enthusiasts. We<br />
launched a specialized program in biology and chemistry in 2014–15, and,<br />
as department head, I played an active role in developing its content and<br />
structure. Since our school boasts a great many outstanding students, my<br />
teaching activity has become focused on engaging with young people with<br />
particular talent. In order to carry out the work in a truly professional manner,<br />
I also completed a course to become a talent development teacher at the<br />
University of Debrecen and attended the Geniusz in-service training (“Nurturing<br />
excellence among talented biology students”). One regular, favourite form of<br />
dealing with talented young people is the Path to Science program, through<br />
which research teams of five students are formed to learn and improve<br />
thinking through joint research activity on a particular topic area. At the end<br />
of the project, the research teams share their results in a presentation every<br />
year at the TUDOK regional and national conferences. For my work in nurturing<br />
excellence, I have so far received the Kontra György Award (2010), Bonis Bona<br />
Award (2013) and a Ministerial Certificate of Recognition (2016).<br />
