Curriculum Design Challenge

Introduction to

Curriculum Design

If you've never implemented curriculum designing in your back to school routine, get ready to experience teaching on a new, exciting level. Whether you are a homeschool, public, or private classroom teacher, I'm certain you will benefit from this extra measure of prep work, and this will quickly become one of your "go to strategies" to launch a successful year!

I aim to work with like minded educators and education supporters to improve the impact of quality and effective instruction on student learning and achievement.

I also partner with the University of Alaska-Anchorage to provide additional opportunities to define my instructional craft and knowledge in higher education while mentoring preservice and inservice teachers as an adjunct professor.
