Create an infographic as a practice assignment that clearly and creatively demonstrates your understanding of a topic within your content, while also applying key principles of effective visual design to make it a helpful and informative resource for your peers and students.

Rationale

This sample infographic, created as a practice assignment that could be utilized in class, shows a strong understanding of content and visual design.

Project 2 (PSA)

Cultivate Learning

Challenge

Design a research-informed visual resource that reframes negative teacher language into supportive alternatives, using at least one scholarly source to illustrate how classroom discourse impacts student motivation and well-being.

Rationale

This poster was created to encourage teachers to use positive language by showing how negative words can affect students’ emotions and motivation. It combines research with simple, practical alternatives to common phrases that might discourage learners, helping teachers build students’ confidence instead. The whole design ties together around the theme of growth and cultivation, using plant and seed imagery to symbolize how careful communication helps students thrive. This project highlights my ability to turn academic research into a clear, friendly resource with meaningful visuals, blending teaching insight and graphic design to make a real difference in the classroom.

The Vulnerable Heart

Challenge

Create an infographic that clearly and creatively communicates the key takeaways from your professional book on the teaching of writing. Your infographic should summarize the book’s central themes, pedagogical strategies, theoretical foundations, and intended audience, while also demonstrating your ability to distill complex ideas into an accessible visual format.

This infographic breaks down the key ideas, practices, and questions raised in Elizabeth Dutro’s The Vulnerable Heart of Literacy in a clear, thoughtful, and engaging way. These graphic highlights the book’s main themes, strengths, and limitations, while offering practical takeaways for educators and can be utilized as an effective companion piece to a literary lesson on the book. The calming colors, organized layout, and visuals that guide the reader through the page displays a strong sense of design and purpose. Overall, the project reflects careful reading, clear communication, and a commitment to inclusive, trauma-informed teaching.
