My Philosophy

I believe professional learning should be much more than a passive, transactional experience where educators come to learn about a particular course. I dedicate time and space within  professional learning experiences for relationships to develop and thrive among participants. A teacher in our program can expect facilitators to be knowledgeable about our curriculum, learning platform, and teaching strategies for equitable, inclusive CR classrooms. Throughout the Facilitator Learning and Content Development, I provide multiple opportunities for participants to enhance their skills for leading effective learning experiences. It is a top priority to frequently ask participants in the Professional Learning Programs and Facilitator Development Program to reflect on their previous experiences, their classroom realities, and the needs of their students. This is in pursuit of constructing a relevant, approachable, and engaging experience for participants, as well as honoring and valuing their existing expertise.
