Professional Development

Created a weekly video series shared with District 96 staff where I interview a staff member who shares information they are passionate about in 96 seconds or less. This has been a great tool promoting teacher agency or voice in our District.

Using YouTube, I stream short professional development opportunities for our staff members to watch live or when they are able to do so. This video series is an introduction to various topics which we explore in more detail during coaching opportunities.

Offer professional development opportunities every Monday - Thursday on a variety of innovative and technology strategies to teachers during lunch.

Organized and developed District digital citizenship activities for students K - 8 using Google's Be Internet Awesome and Common Sense Media for Education.

Organized and developed District institute days with our assistant superintendent incorporating breakout sessions similar to a conference.

Organized a digital and traditional face-to-face Google Bootcamp to coach and collaborate with teachers on how they can incorporate Google tools into their instruction.
