Promoting Quality Peer Feedback

• second "first year" social studies curriculum
• As tech team member, delivered high-quality, responsive professional development, and sought teacher input and feedback
• coached a very well attended robotics program
• supported other teachers as they implemented history day, sharing resources, tools, materials...
• mentored a new teacher weekly, observed him twice, gave feedback, supported colleagues professionally
• integrated new tech tools (ongoing change!) without going overboard
• got a grant for microelectronics, and integrated them into cross-team SST learning opportunities (yay!) and presented these successes to VASE
• Taught a National Board Certification cohort support class, supporting four teachers (two MRPS) as they submitted portfolios
• saw the need and chaired weekly science meetings to support common assessments, directly resulting in improved science instruction and more consistent activities across teams (plus it was fun)

• developed strong relations with students
• personal health challenge!
