Billeen Carlson Email & Phone Number

I am currently a secondary generalist at Nikolaevsk School where we focus on student reflection and ownership over their own education. We work toward empowering students to develop their learning journeys through project and play-based experiences as well as providing a variety of both on and offline learning options. We also focus on social-emotional learning with Zones of Regulation, Sources of Strength, and Habits of Mind. I currently enjoy a leadership position in KPBSD as part of the PL Champs. I first became interested in educational innovation while I was homeschooling my eldest daughter through some of middle and high school. I continued to explore cutting edge, research-based methodologies while volunteering and working for Girl Scouts of Alaska. I believe in a whole-child approach to education with a heavy emphasis on environmental competency. In my classroom you will see busy, comfortable students moving around in a homelike setting while working on a variety of self-directed tasks.I work to deepen my competency of educational innovation and 21st Century Skills for students and teachers alike. I look forward to seeing positive impacts on online and in person pedagogy as the years unfold.

Listed skills include Community Outreach, Teaching, Curriculum Development, Leadership, and 19 others.
