Generate Excitement
I believe students deserve the opportunity for rigorous and relevant learning experiences. When working with educators, I blend progressive strategies with research based best-practices to provide options for improved student engagement. Pulling from experience with Understanding by Design curriculum mapping, I work to connect pedagogy from educational practices such as Design Thinking, Project Based Learning, Personalized Learning, Expiditionary Learning, etc. to educational standards.
