Jared is an education expert helping schools and organizations craft authentic, engaging, and comprehensive learning environments - with a specialty working at the intersection of science, the environment, and social justice.
Dr. Jared Fox has over two decades of experience working in education, with seventeen years spent serving as a New York City public school science teacher.
His consulting practice draws on his research background and extensive practical experience to help schools and organizations craft authentic, engaging, and comprehensive learning environments, with a specialty at the intersection of science, the environment, and social justice.
Past and current clients include WE ACT for Environmental Justice, Weill Cornell Medical Center, Futures Ignite, NYC H2O, Cypress Hills Collegiate Prep, and New York City Public Schools teachers.
As a teacher, Jared served as science department chair, instructional coach, mentor teacher, and instructional leadership team member. He co-founded the award-winning Clean Air Green Corridor, a Black and Brown youth-led movement addressing 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, Sloan Award winner for Excellence in Teaching Science and Mathematics, Times Square New Year’s Eve Waterford Crystal Ball Honoree, and WE ACT for Environmental Justice Advocate.
His doctoral research examined how mobile science labs affect urban students' attitude toward science and was inspired by his service as a board member of BioBus, Inc., an organization dedicated to bringing high-quality science education experiences to communities and individuals traditionally underrepresented in STEM.
Jared loves spending time with his family, kicking it on the soccer field, cycling around NYC, and writing on Substack about the overarching ideas and themes in his recent book, Learning Environment: Inspirational Actions, Approaches, and Stories from the Science Classroom (Beacon Press).
