My 30+ years in education has led me down a very unique path. Starting with teaching in the classroom, moving on to various district positions, and then transitioning to the business world of EdTech has been quite the adventure. Throughout my journey, I always keep in mind what teachers want and what is best for students. My passion for education is fueled by keeping current with research-based instructional practices and trends in K-12 education.I'm an energetic, self-starter who enjoys learning, collaborating, producing quality outcomes. I believe in promoting my successes as well as that of others.Member: International Literacy Association, The Reading LeagueEducation Certifications: State of Florida Teaching Certificate 1-6, National Board Certified Teacher in Early Adolescences English Language ArtsEducation Endorsements: Reading, Gifted, ESOLEducation Curriculum Writer‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾Examine research-based educational studies and extract information for professional developmentChuck information into digestible bits for easier comprehensionWrite content to be easily comprehended by othersDesign inviting layout that is well organizedeLearning Writer and Designer‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾Study best practices and research-based best practices on a topicWrite content for the adult learner Organized content for an online environmentCreate engaging interactivities to enhance the learning experienceInstructional Trainer‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾Research and write professional development trainings on specific topicsDesign professional presentations including engaging activitiesDeliver training with a positive attitudeMake sure participants understand the content and believe they can improve/grow with new knowledgeProvide meaningful and purposeful handouts
