Experience

Teaching style

Demonstrator Approach: See It, Try It, Master It Sooner Standards resources reflect a demonstrator teaching philosophy—modeling skills step-by-step, then guiding students into independent practice. This approach works especially well for secondary Computer Science and technical content where students need to see concepts in action before applying them. What This Looks Like in Practice: Clear definitions with real-world examples students can relate to Scaffolded activities that build from guided to independent work Realistic, tech-industry scenarios that show why concepts matter Multiple assessment formats to check understanding at different levels Extension opportunities for advanced learners Resources are structured so students see the concept, practice with support, then extend their understanding—a progression that builds both confidence and competence in challenging technical content.

Awards & shining teacher moments

Educational Leadership & Commitment to Excellence I am honored to have served a full five-year elected term on the Pocola Public School Board, holding positions as Treasurer, Vice President, and President. This experience provided unique insight into educational policy, curriculum standards implementation, and the daily realities of Oklahoma classrooms. During my tenure, I helped shape district vision, evaluate curriculum materials, oversee budget decisions, and ensure alignment between state standards and classroom instruction. This service was not just policy work—it was about understanding what teachers need to succeed and what students need to thrive. This commitment to educational excellence extends to my own professional development. I believe the best resource creators are continuous learners themselves. My ongoing professional learning in both education and technology ensures Sooner Standards resources remain current, rigorous, and aligned with both state requirements and industry practices.

My own education history

Master's in Information Technology + Lifelong Learning Philosophy I hold a Master's Degree in Information Technology, a field that continuously evolves alongside education itself. This academic foundation provides deep understanding of the technical concepts in Computer Science and Emerging Technologies standards—but more importantly, it taught me how to structure complex information for different learning contexts. Why This Matters for Teachers: I'm not just interpreting standards; I'm drawing from actual technical experience to create resources that are both academically rigorous and industry-relevant. Students using these materials learn concepts the way they're actually applied in technology careers. The Continuous Learner Mindset: I believe education is a lifelong journey. Standards change. Technology evolves. Best practices improve. This philosophy drives me to: Monitor OSDE for standards updates and revise resources accordingly Stay current with industry practices to ensure real-world relevance Continuously refine instructional design based on feedback and research Pursue ongoing professional learning in both education and technology When you use Sooner Standards resources, you're getting materials from someone who refuses to stop learning—ensuring your students receive forward-thinking, current instruction that prepares them for tomorrow's opportunities.
