Educational Leadership
When I first started teaching, I took attendance on paper and someone from the office came by to pick it up. I calculated rows of grades in a large paper grade book. Progress reports were printed and delivered to students by hand. Materials for class were copied on the copy machine, where a long line of teachers congregated on Monday mornings. Students passed paper notes in class and needed to borrow pencils.

Now, attendance is digital — in fact, your students might even be digital. Grades are calculated automatically and can be updated immediately. Progress reports are available by phone app. Materials for class are shared online for collaboration. Students text notes . . . yet STILL ask to borrow pencils. I hope to relieve students of the massive pencil debt they find themselves in as they near graduation.

As an educational leader and learner, I have taught students and coached educators in face-to-face, blended, and online environments. I currently serve as the Director of Instruction, a position where I support and empower teachers who teach online students all over Michigan. I am inspired to work for an organization where employees are impassioned to create positive change in learning and education. One of my core values is ‘making a difference,’ and I enjoy doing so for all learners in a mission-driven organization.

How do students, teachers, and school leadership move from the days of photo copies and worksheets to a more innovative and collaborative model of instruction? Teaching and leading online provides us with many opportunities to empower both adult and student learners, online and face-to-face.
