About the store

Experience

Teaching style

My instructional and design approach is grounded in clarity, coherence, and intellectual engagement. I prioritize curriculum that: *makes thinking visible *supports inquiry, discussion, and revision *emphasizes disciplinary practices over templates *values depth, precision, and purposeful practice The materials in this store are designed as flexible tools that support professional judgment rather than prescriptive scripts.

Awards & shining teacher moments

I focus less on individual recognition and more on the impact of work that supports teachers’ instructional decision-making and students’ engagement with complex texts and ideas. The most meaningful moments in my work come from collaborating with educators to strengthen instruction, curriculum coherence, and student learning over time.

My own education history

I hold a PhD in Education Theory and Practice, with advanced training in educational theory, research, and instructional design. I bring 15 years of experience as an educator, including 4 years as an instructional coach and 10 years in education research. My academic and professional background informs the structure, sequencing, and intent of the resources in this store, while remaining firmly grounded in classroom application.
