For twenty years, Judy Yero taught middle and high school physical science, chemistry, and physics in suburban Chicago. She served for six years as Science Department Chair at a large suburban Chicago high school and chaired the district's curriculum development committee.

During her years in teaching, Yero created award-winning science lessons; published articles and activities in several educational journals; served on a number of National Science Teacher’s Association committees, as well as on an NSF curriculum evaluation panel; and was a member of the NSTA/NASA committee that selected the first student science projects to be carried into space. 

While pursuing her doctorate at the University of Illinois, she served as assistant director of the student teacher placement program and taught several teacher education classes, receiving an "outstanding" rating from her students. 

Yero's studies focused on biopsychology and education, with the goal of applying research from the rapidly-growing neurosciences to the development of more brain-compatible teaching methodologies.

Drawing on extensive postgraduate work in biopsychology, cognitive psychology, and education, Yero went on to present local and national workshops designed to help teachers better understand the myriad ways in which their students process information. During those workshops, she recognized how eager teachers were to learn more about their own thought processes. To this end, she has spent the last several years researching and writing Teaching In Mind: How Teacher Thinking Shapes Education. 

Yero is presently Director of Teacher's Mind Resources, an independent educational analyst and consultant, and contributing textbook and journal author. She has recently co-authored texts in sociology, psychology, civics, and American history, and contributed to numerous science textbooks.

Her present interests are in helping teachers mindfully transform education. She makes her home in Hamilton, Montana and can be reached at
