I've worked in education for the past ten years as a teacher, an administrator, and a magnet coordinator. I have thorough experience with technology integration and project based learning. I'm also certified to teach in all four core subject areas, so I have a broad knowledge of all core middle school curriculum.
I expect 100% engagement throughout the lesson cycle. In order to achieve this, I utilize technology tools and encourage students to demonstrate their learning with digital products that require imagination and creativity.
