Experienced classroom teacher, K-12 school administrator and professional developer. My approach to technology in schools is informed by my time in the classroom and the substantial work I’ve done in providing professional development for teachers. My move into school leadership grew from the understanding that quality teaching is at the core of meaningful technology integration. The two go together and always will. Technology is an amplifier of student and teacher potential, but choosing appropriate classroom applications of tech is one of an educator’s most important roles. In thriving school environments conversations about teaching and learning- what works, what doesn't- happen a lot. Professional development is a critical component of any education initiative or implementation.
