Professional Learning Facilitator

I've conducted over one hundred professional learning sessions in my career, ranging from week long, technology focused boot camps, to regional showcases, to one hour sessions driven by district goals. 

Prior to and during the pandemic, I shifted my approach to professional learning, basing it in adult learning theory by providing just in time resources and supports to teachers when and where they need them. A list of recent offerings is below:
