Background and Approach
Hello! I was previously a High School English Teacher and Middle School Assistant Principal. Now, I continue to be a dynamic, engaged leader that believes in the power of Relationships, Positivity, and Innovation. Relationships are key for success in education. Students are not numbers. Parents are not a checkbox. Teachers are not spreadsheets. In schools, relationships make us family. Attitude is a choice. Each day we have to make the decision that it is going to be a great day. A positive attitude will fill your glass more than half full time and time again. Innovation does not meaning throwing away everything that we have ever done. Innovation means a willingness to work at finding a new way to engage students, teachers, parents, and communities to continually pursue success.
I am currently a Digital Learning Coach for my district, and I support teachers most often in the ELAR Classroom!
Adobe Express can be used to provide students choice and options.
I can continue to showcase Adobe Express as a choice board option for sample assignments.
Adobe Express can be used to scaffold assignments by creating remix-able templates that students with specific needs can use.
I can show teachers in PD how to create templates and send them to students that may struggle with the number of options to choose from.
Adobe Express can be used to provide visually dynamic feedback for students and teachers!
I can use Adobe Express to provide my campus teachers with feedback to model how teachers might do this with their students.
Using Adobe Education Exchange
One of my favorite Adobe Express tools is the Logo Maker!
I plan to use this created Personal Logo Unit from the Adobe Education Exchange in my Back to School PD in the fall. I will use the unit with teachers as my students to model how they could use this in their own classrooms to get to know students while simultaneously laying the groundwork to use this same tool later with characters and text genres. This will ideally be for my secondary ELAR teachers, but I might try it with intermediate as well.
An answer to the prompt: “How will you integrate (or how have you integrated) at least one Adobe Education Exchange resource into your teaching/role in education this year?” (1-2 paragraphs). You may select any one resource from the Adobe Education Exchange. If you want a place to get started, use this curated list and sort by grade level and subject area
For my elementary teachers, I would like to showcase this lesson from the Adobe Education Exchange about designing an image for a character. I think this would fit nicely with their characterization standards, but I might additionally show them how I would adapt this to be a "get to know you" activity for the beginning of the school year.
Thank you so much for checking out my Portfolio!
