Summary
I am a dedicated educator. My greatest strength is my ability to disaggregate student data and use that data to strategically drive instruction. I am skilled at developing targeted action plans that increase student comprehension and success. This process includes tracking progress, monitoring implementation and making timely instructional adjustments that improve efficiency. I am a collaborative leader who supports teachers through clear communication, coaching and a commitment to student success. I am ready to join a school leadership team and continue the growth and excellence of the staff and students.
