Awards & shining teacher moments

Writing and editing the biographies of past US diplomats for the Association of Diplomatic Service and Training, a branch of the US State Department. I also wrote Shelby County Schools', Tennessee's largest public school district, English as a Second Language curriculum, which is still in use today. This project included creating yearly, quarterly, and weekly curriculum maps and lesson plans for teachers. The lesson plans were aligned to common core standards and included appropriate scaffolds, supplemental reading, and culminating tasks.
