What I'm looking for
I am an experienced instructional coach and educator with a passion for fostering high-quality learning environments. Currently, I serve as an Instructional Coach for grades 5-6 and the District Advanced Learning Coordinator for grades 1-6 at Jefferson Middle School. My role involves providing coaching and support to classroom teachers, mentoring new educators, and designing professional development sessions that focus on evidence-based instructional strategies. I take pride in analyzing student performance data to refine instructional practices and enhance student engagement.
Throughout my career, I have led initiatives to integrate literacy best practices across all subject areas, collaborated with administrators to align coaching efforts with school improvement goals, and served on various leadership teams to promote effective teaching strategies. My commitment to professional growth extends beyond my immediate responsibilities, as I actively participate in state education panels and conferences, sharing insights on innovative educational practices, including the use of AI in education.
