将自己定义为一名教师教育者, I draw from my practical experiences as a public education teacher with students who span a vibrant spectrum of learning. 澳门金沙线上赌博官网MAT项目的校友, I continually grow as an educator and feel so fortunate to work in an institution that focuses heavily on the student. 作为一名教育研究者, I intertwine my research with my practice of teaching and, 因此, 我的教学和研究. My teaching is guided by theory, centered on student learning, and steeped in reflection. Through the infusion of differentiation as a practical way to promote purposeful learning, I strive to provide opportunities for students to experience authenticity, 自治, 我课堂上的主人翁精神. I embrace the foundation of differentiation as the umbrella of my scholarship and the cornerstone of my teaching.
Through my teaching and the practice of using differentiated instruction, 我在变革的根源上遇到了教育者. 研究 is the arena where I can continue to explore the role, 影响, and outcome of differentiation on multiple levels and reach/teach others through dissemination of my work. Drawing on a mix of qualitative and quantitative research methodologies, my research threads are unified under the familiar umbrella of differentiated instruction. 从这一点开始, it follows two paths: Teacher education (which specifically intersects the practice of differentiated instruction for both inservice and preservice teachers) and environmental education (which extends the idea of differentiation past content, 过程, and product into that of environment also allowing me to tap into Gardner’s Naturalistic Intelligence and proactively address upcoming federal legislation regarding outdoor education). 从这两个角度, the paths unite again through 影响ing transformative leadership in the field of education.
I am fortunate that many of my community and professional interactions are so closely linked with my teaching and research. A few examples of recent local, state, and international involvement include:
自2010年加入澳门金沙线上赌博官网以来, I continue to be involved in a growing number of interesting activities. A few of these opportunities include the German Fulbright Delegation planning committee, Co-facilitating Saturday Morning Experience (SME), participating in the Council on Teacher 教育, Co-facilitating the Teacher 教育 Study Group, and participating in the Gifted and Talented Lecture Series Development Team.
