Summary
Educational Summary
Over the last seventeen years as an educator, I have worked in exemplary educational systems in the United States. Due to my husband being in the Air Force we moved across the United States. Teaching and leading in various placements has allowed for insight into different high-quality instructional experiences. These experiences have allowed observations into world-class instructional practices, professional learning communities, and diverse student learning needs. I have learned different skills from each community of educators. These skills enhance planning, pacing, and instructional practices.
