Learning and Development Specialist at Washington Manor Middle School, where I piloted Amplify and raised proficiency benchmarks by 10%.

United States
Message

At Washington Manor Middle School, I spearheaded the pilot implementation of the Amplify digital learning curriculum and tailored modules for diverse user profiles. I also designed scaffolded instructional frameworks and multimedia learning aids for multicultural and multilingual learners.

I used diagnostic assessments and learning analytics to guide targeted micro-learning interventions, contributing to a 10% year-over-year increase in proficiency benchmarks. I also partnered with instructional teams, administrators, and community partners to secure a $2,400 grant for program resources and engagement initiatives.

At Moreland Middle School, I co-developed and launched an English Language Development training track with a cross-functional team. I evaluated retention and learner milestones using diagnostic data, and participants achieved an average growth metric one proficiency tier above baseline expectations.
