Bronx, New York

Designed and created unit and lesson templates for Upper Elementary Catholic After School Curriculum based on Faith and Life Catechism Series. Lessons featured contemporary and classical paintings of Christian themes and Bible verses with matching texts which were exemplar-annotated with prompts for teachers to use during class discourse. Curriculum was generated by developing exemplar lessons for third and fourth grade which were built out by teaching staff through Sharepoint. These lessons were used as a base to create Seton Partner's K and 1st religious curriculum.

Newark, New Jersey

Co-founded 3rd grade at West Side Park Academy with specialization in informational literacy instruction and curriculum development. Annually mentored and coached new teachers throughout the year by providing feedback through Teach Like A Champion taxonomies. Mathematic instruction was inquiry-based utilizing Cognitively-Guided Instructional taxonomies. Literacy instruction was discussion-based featuring Good Habits Good Readers taxonomies.

Designed and co-wrote Lexile-appropriate informational guided reading plans for the charter-network based upon STEP and Internal PARCC-aligned assessment data corroborated in Illuminate. Using data from Illuminate, I redesigned and co-aligned upper elementary informational guided reading lesson formats so NewsELA could be utilized during guided reading. Developed and wrote out lesson and assessment templates for Uncommon's 2nd grade vocabulary instruction. Templates were subsequently built out by other network-writers for all upper elementary the following year. Lesson alignment to STEP bottom-lines and CCSS. Lessons were scripted with exemplars to student questions and teacher prompts to facilitate discussion. All curriculum was organized and distributed through SharePoint.

I was a service-volunteer through the Vincentian Service Corps West teaching 6th grade world history, 4th grade religion, and 6th grade skill-support teacher for ELA and math. During the summer, I designed and led a small-group tutoring session for the small-group I worked with during the school year. Instruction was inquiry-based emphasising concept mapping (Popplet) and student research collaboration with Google Docs. I developed an elective course using Portal 2 to explore physics and problem solving. Curriculum was organized and shared through G-Suites and Atlas Curriculum Mapping.
