Work History
Teacher
Brookings-Harbor School District 17-C
Brookings, Oregon, USA
01.2007 - Current
- Endorsements in Math and Science have allowed me to be a part of many exciting teaching opportunities and grow as an educator. In both subject areas new curriculum adoptions required changing practices to align with current national standards as previous state standards were phased out making it essential to stay current on state and federal education requirements.
- Establishing student learning goals as well as professional learning goals and collecting individual student data at the beginning, middle, and end of the school year allows me to monitor education practices and analyze subpopulations growth.
- Working in professional learning communities (PLCs) is essential to helping serve all students in our district with varied needs and backgrounds.
- Distance learning classroom adaptations and various technologies such as google meetings and classrooms.
