Educational Philosophy
I believe that all students can learn if given the tools to do so. I believe some of the best skills we can
teach students are critical thinking, communication and perseverance. With these skills, students can
attack any problem with a chance to succeed.

Quality Instruction Coach

August 2013 June 2015

As a quality instruction coach I have been through extensive training in the Marzano observation
protocols, as well as the Classroom Assessment for Learning material. I am a consultant for teachers at
North Farmington High School to aide them in designing lesson plans, writing units of instruction,
observing teaching practice and giving feedback, as well as providing professional development in the
Marzano Learning Map and Classroom Assessment for Learning material.
K-12 Mathematics Coordinator

2013 2014

As a mathematics coordinator, I have assisted in identifying 1st-7th grade students for math acceleration,
planned summer professional development in PLT implementation and curriculum alignment to the
Common Core State Standards, and facilitated a task team to identify a type of resource for secondary
mathematics that would better address the needs of the CCSS. I also wrote the curriculum for an 8 th
grade summer intervention course that was offered to struggling mathematics students that were
transitioning from 8th grade to 9th grade.

Data Literacy Coach

2012 2013

As a data literacy coach I was in charge of planning and facilitating all district secondary school
improvement meetings. I created and administered several district-wide surveys to aid schools in the
completion of their school improvement plans. I met with several building school improvement teams to
help them write their goals and complete the diagnostics required by AdvancED and the Michigan
Department of Education. I conducted several trainings on the use of Pearson Inform for data analysis to
inform instruction. I helped coordinate the NWEA testing with our K-4 and 5-6 buildings as well as run
parent reports of student progress. I facilitated trainings of teachers on how to interpret the NWEA reports
and how to use the DesCartes Continuum for classroom instruction.
Farmington High School

2007 2013

As a math teacher at FHS, I taught Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Pre-Calculus, Statistics, and
Trigonometry. I worked to differentiate my teaching to meet the needs of all students in my classroom.
While at FHS I was also the first teacher in the district to be trained on the TI-NSpire calculators and
implement them in a classroom. I served on the professional development committee and attended
county-level mathematics workshops like Whos On First: Year 3. I also served on two task teams that
created Farmington Public Schools Teacher Growth Model (Professional Roles and Responsibilities and
Putting It All Together). From that work I was invited to be a part of the Summer Implementation Planning
Team related to the Teacher Growth Model and helped facilitate the district professional development day
at NFHS at the start of the 2012-2013 school year. Lastly, I was the FHS Point Person for the Teacher
Growth Model for the 2012-2013 school year.
North Farmington High School

2003 2007

I taught Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II and Biology while at NFHS. I was the freshman and Sophomore
Class Advisors for two years. Lastly, I also volunteered at many after school events either as a participant
or a chaperone.
