My educational career has been
built on my commitment to inclusive education, collaboration with constituents,
and desire to find innovative solutions to challenges facing educators. These values have brought me much success as
a teacher as well as a teacher leader.
I have shared my expertise
at working with struggling students with colleagues through my work supervising
an after-school program, coordinating curriculum projects,
participating on RTI and literacy audit teams, and by designing and teaching professional development courses.
Expanding my professional network to include teachers from across the nation, I created lesson plans with a music teacher from Los Angeles and a librarian from Memphis as a NEH Scholar.
Through my work creating
curriculum, supervising credit recovery programs, and teaching AIS classes and in summer school, you can be
assured that I am familiar with the Common Core State Standards and am skilled at using
them to craft lesson and unit plans that lead to increased student
achievement.
My references will confirm that I am both a
skilled educator and communicator, and that I am an integral member of my
department and grade level teams because I am resourceful, focused, and
positive. My work is evidence of my claims, and is available by following the links on the right.
I look
forward to the possibility of working with the students, parents, staff, and leaders
in your organization. Please contact me through this blog to discuss what I can bring to your organization.
