Hello! I'm Addy M. Walker, an experienced educator passionate about inspiring students to reach their full potential. With a Master's in Education, a focus on Secondary English, and bachelor's degrees in Asian Studies and Geology, I bring a diverse perspective to the classroom.🍎 As a seasoned teacher with a Mississippi Class AA Teacher License and certifications in Elementary Education, English 7-12, and more, I've dedicated my career to fostering learning environments that engage and empower students.💡 While an Apple Learning Specialist and Google Certified Educator (Level 2), I stayed and continue to stay at the forefront of educational technology. In my role as an Instructional Technology Coach, I provided district-wide professional development, collaborated on curriculum development, and implemented innovative strategies for technology integration.📚 Currently, I'm thriving as a 2nd/3rd Grade English/Language Arts Teacher at Grenada Elementary School, where I serve as a looping teacher, Canvas learning management system trainer, and mentor for beginning teachers.🎓 Beyond the classroom, I've been involved in various educational initiatives, including being an instructor for University of Mississippi High School's Pre-College Programs and an Ecology Day Camp, where I developed curriculum, managed social media, and produced marketing assets.🌐 My commitment to education extends globally—I've taught in Okinawa, Japan, and served as an Academic Advisor at the University of Maryland University College Asia. I'm proud to have been recognized as the Kadena Middle School Outstanding Civilian Volunteer and nominated for Oxford Middle School Teacher of the Year.Let's connect! I'm excited about the opportunity to share insights, collaborate on educational initiatives, and continue making a positive impact in the world of education.
