As an educator, I demonstrate versatility by seamlessly integrating technology and academia to create dynamic and personalized learning experiences for students.

I actively engage with platforms such as IXL, Google Classroom, Google Meet, Zoom, Seesaw, Class Dojo, Readworks, Savvas, HMH, Canvas, Storyboard, Aimsweb, NWEA, and Fastbridge, among others, to ensure my learners are prepared for the rapidly evolving technological world. My use of these online platforms, both as a teacher and a collaborator, has aided in facilitating a PK-12 curriculum that aligns with state standards, textbooks, and standardized tests. Whether it's math, language arts, science, or social studies, I utilize these tools to meticulously develop content that fosters student learning, achievement, and success.

Through various technological platforms, I can customize learning paths for each student. These platforms enable real-time analysis of student work and the generation of personalized skill recommendations. Such adaptability ensures that each student receives individualized support and challenges tailored to my classroom's needs. Whether supplementing direct instruction or serving as an assistant, I have access to the full curriculum and can adjust these online academic tools to accommodate the needs of learners with diverse learning styles. Teaching with Rigor involves not only fostering essential relationships but also promoting deep thought and active learning. I am a advocate for effective teaching and support the integration of technology in classrooms with diverse learners.

Technology is not merely a classroom tool; I believe it greatly enhances our learning environments through both asynchronous and synchronous methods. My passion lies in teaching students of all ages in the most effective manner, utilizing data-driven results to track progress and mastery of the content.
