ADMINISTRATIVE PROJECTS
Project |01
School Personalized Learning Model
I have created a Personalized Learning Model that has been adopted for use as part of a school wide effort to implement Personalized Learning. In this system, teachers create standards based learning targets that students work through. Key components of the model are student voice in strategies and assessment and personalized student pacing. The implementation also includes the PDSA Model and targets continuous improvement.
Flex 14: School Schedule Design
I was part of the leadership committee charged with creating and implementing a high school schedule that would allow for increased collaboration time for staff, greater empowerment of students to access resources they need for academic success, and classes that vary in duration and size to allow for student and staff creativity. I spent time working with staff and helping lead during in-service workshop time.
