Hi! It is my first year as an Instructional Technology Coach, so I am still learning the tricks of the trade. I spent the last ten years teaching in various positions, including substitute teacher, after-school program coordinator, Title 1 RTI instructor, Head Start lead teacher/director, 6-8th grade ELA teacher, and 6-8th grade science teacher. I have learned a considerable amount through my work experiences, including how to meet grade level standards, and how to adapt them to the many different learners using a variety of hands-on and technology based activities. I have gained administrative experiences and leadership experiences, knowledge of the Common Core Standards at all levels, and how to make learning fun for the struggling student. I am currently in my final class in the Master of Arts in Educational Technology program, and plan on graduating at Central Michigan University August, 2015.
