What I'm looking for
I am an experienced high school social studies teacher and department chair with a strong record of curriculum writing, data-driven instruction, and leadership at the district and state level. I have taught World History (including AP), U.S. History, and Ethnic Studies, mentored student teachers, led professional learning, and coordinated after-school and intervention programs.
I also serve as a reliable remote scorer for large assessment programs, having completed scorer training and collaborated with table leaders and chief readers to ensure fair, consistent evaluation. My work has been recognized with multiple teaching awards, and I bring a detail-oriented, student-centered approach to curriculum development and instructional leadership.
