Curriculum Abilities 

The sub-pages in this section include my experience and mindset as a Curriculum Coach. 

Recently, I have facilitated the quarterly 6th grade Science professional learning committees (PLCs) for Grand Prairie ISD. I enjoy working collaboratively with my cohorts and introducing new implementation techniques.  

While obtaining my Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction I had to complete a year-long internship under the supervision of the leadership team at my current campus. That team included the Principal, Assistant Principal, Instructional Coordinator, and Magnet Coordinator.   

While working with the leadership team I was allowed to lead and facilitate various instructional programs. During this time, I gain hands-on experience in building curriculum, coaching and administrating feedback to teachers, campus, district, and state testing procedures, and data analysis. 

I also worked with Desoto ISD as a member of the Science Curriculum team creating the pacing calendars, and Instructional (Teacher) Planning Documents (IPG) for all 4th and 6th grade science teachers. 

Lead and facilitated opportunities include:

• Planning the Black History Program 

• Creating a campus data room, so teachers can have easy assess to all student's data campus-wide 

• Leadership meetings

• Facilitating math STAAR prep courses 

• Organizing school-wide Benchmark testing

• Campus data meetings 

• Leading a Professional Learning Community (PLC) training teachers on how to develop Intervention Plans 

• Planning instruction for Friday Night Lights (FNL) an enrichment program done once a month on Friday nights to help increase student learning, motivation, and engagement

• Facilitating FNL, observing teachers as they conducted the PBLs with their students and gave feedback

• Vertical Alignment meetings 

• Participating in the district job fair interviewing and screening possible employees

• Creating grade-level assessments 

• Campus book distribution 

• Conducting Walkthroughs 

• Preparing small groups for STAAR testing 

• Assimilating STAAR testing bins 

• Creating and scanning answer documents for Benchmarks 

• Shadow campus testing coordinator
