Stephen Carpenter
@stephencarpenter
Experienced educator transitioning to instructional design for adult learning.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated educator with 20 years of experience and a strong commitment to designing impactful adult learning solutions. I combine deep pedagogical expertise with practical classroom experience to create engaging, learner-centered curricula and interactive eLearning modules.
In my recent roles I collaborated with subject matter experts to design differentiated learning solutions that met diverse learner needs and aligned to clear objectives. I designed and implemented feedback loops to continuously evaluate and improve learning programs and curricula.
I partnered with cross-functional teams to design curriculum and facilitate professional development, which improved departmental instructional practices and learning outcomes. My background includes roles as a technology integration coach, department head, and threat assessment coordinator, and I have delivered presentations at regional education conferences.
I bring experience developing high-level, differentiated materials (Pre-AP certified), training for diverse learning styles, and coordinating district-level policies such as threat assessment. I am eager to apply my skills in instructional design to enhance corporate training programs with data-driven approaches and measurable results.
