Natashia L. Reid, M.Ed.

I am an educator and emerging instructional designer with a passion for creating meaningful, accessible, and engaging learning experiences. Drawing on my experience in special education and my graduate studies in instructional design and educational technology, I approach learning with a strong understanding of diverse learner needs, accessibility, and the importance of measurable growth.

I believe effective learning experiences begin with understanding the learner. Through thoughtful design, technology, creativity, and evidence-based instructional practices, I strive to transform complex information into learning experiences that are practical, inclusive, and purposeful.

About Me

Hello, and welcome to my portfolio! I’m Natashia Reid, an educator and instructional designer with a passion for helping people learn, grow, and succeed.

My background in exceptional student education has given me firsthand experience designing instruction for learners with diverse abilities, needs, and learning styles. Throughout my career, I have developed individualized learning experiences, adapted curriculum and assessments, incorporated educational technology, and used learner data to guide instructional decisions. These experiences ultimately sparked my interest in instructional design and learning experience design.

I bring together my experience in education with my knowledge of instructional design, curriculum development, educational technology, accessibility, and assessment to create learning experiences that are practical, inclusive, and purposeful. I especially enjoy taking information or a learning challenge and finding creative ways to make it easier to understand and apply.

Outside of instructional design and education, creativity continues to be an important part of my life. Music was my first passion, and I enjoy singing, playing piano and keyboard, and music production. I also enjoy creating social media content, bike riding, playing pickleball, reading, watching documentaries, and—when I need something familiar and funny—watching The Golden Girls.

Pandemic 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic was a historic shock to the world, especially teachers who had to suddenly learn how to teach from home. Personally, it was a major teachable moment for me. Not only learning how to use different online resources was fun and a little overwhelming but as an Exceptional Student Educator (Special Education) I had the task of finding and creating curriculum that our students could learn from. Providing resources that was accessible, user friendly for students and parents. Most importantly, activities that was enjoyable for the students, creating an effective learning experience. Here are some samples.

American History(Levels of Court/Supreme Court Cases) wk 7 &8

The Civil War

(April 2021) This video was created during the 2020-2021 school year, when I was an ESE Teacher. Towards the middle and the end of that school year, we became hybrid (offering instruction online and in person) I became one of the teachers that taught students online. However, at the end of the year, I took over a class in person. For our Science project, we built a volcano. We video taped the process and result and made it available through a QR code posted on the Science Board.

( We won First Place by the way!!!!)

When Teaching About Political Parties Goes Wild....

Experimented with Microsoft Sway (2020)

(Oct 2022) I usually have morning meetings at the beginning of class. I found a song for each day of the week to play, except Thursday. So I had to create one. I produced this song and found clips and images online to create a video.

Other Creations

My first passion is music. Over the years, I created content to promote music (songs produced and composed by myself)
