Professional Development

I believe an educator must still be a student at heart. My love of teaching goes beyond my classroom. I enjoy collaborating and taking the time to work with teachers to refine their craft and challenge their students daily. 
From working with teachers on my own campus to teachers across the district, I truly enjoy challenging others along with myself to stretch and explore new ways to engage our students in learning.
