Experienced curriculum coach dedicated to enhancing student learning outcomes.
What I'm looking for
With over 18 years of educational experience, I have dedicated my career to improving student outcomes and supporting teachers through effective instructional strategies. My journey began as a Science Teacher, where I developed lesson plans aligned with state standards and utilized a variety of teaching methods to engage students. This foundation has allowed me to transition into a Curriculum Coach role, where I focus on disaggregating data to inform teacher training and enhance instructional practices.
Throughout my career, I have successfully implemented programs that cater to at-risk students, ensuring they receive the support necessary to thrive academically. My expertise in utilizing platforms like Eduphoria and Google Apps has enabled me to provide quality accelerated instruction and lead professional learning opportunities for educators. I am passionate about fostering a collaborative environment where teachers can share best practices and continuously improve their craft.
