Educational Philosophy

To prepare students for the future, educators must make their classrooms feel comfortable and connected to the outside world in order to facilitate their growth. Utilizing tools for communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity are essential to help personalize learning for our students and invest in both their current and future endeavors. As Director of Instructional Technology at Northwest ISD, I manage a team of profession instructional technology coaches who expose and empower educators to integrate these tools into their practices. I also work with technology infrastructure teams, staff development, curriculum and instruction, and other departments to make sure our practices align. I hope to continue to improve upon myself and upon my ability to reach and assist as many students as possible to become future-ready.
