My own education history
I earned a Doctorate in Education (Ed.D.) in 2024. My dissertation focuses on collaborating to write a curriculum that helps students develop academic and social-emotional skills in a mathematics classroom. I also expanded on how the same principles could be applied to all content areas, grades 5 - 12. I focused on creating appropriate curriculum resources, structures, and routines for all kinds of learners (honors students, multilingual learners, and students with documented plans/IEPs/504s).
