UnexpectED Educational Resources

Welcome to UnexpectED Educational Resources! I want to share some of the resources that help me make learning accessible and fun for my students! I offer Tier 1 and Tier 2 curriculum and tracking materials for teachers and homeschool parents.

I design engaging, multi-sensory lessons and materials that let students learn at their own pace through a "leveled" system. Standards are vertically aligned into skill domains, so each student first masters the prerequisite skills they need before advancing—the same foundation that prepares them to qualify for advanced programs. Because lessons engage multiple senses—visual, auditory, and hands-on—students build and retain skills through the pathways that work best for them. The approach is neuroaffirming: it honors how each brain naturally learns, meeting students where they are rather than forcing a single pace or style. Students can move up through domains as they're ready or stay at a level until a skill is secure, making instruction truly individualized whether the goal is intervention or enrichment. Video scaffolds support this independence—students use them to guide their learning or check their own work—and they reinforce mastery through targeted at-home practice and assessments.

I have won the "Truly Extraordinary" Award for the school wide Tier 2/3 intervention program I created and implemented to help my middle schoolers gain the ability to add, subtract, multiply and divide before entering high school. I have also won the "You Make a Difference" Award for my integration of video scaffolds in the classroom.
