My Lessons
Lessons I have Modified or created
I have collaborated with my co-teacher who was a special education teacher and my partner teacher. The three of us reviewed old lessons, created new lessons, and engaged in best practices conversations, ensuring we have equity in the learning experiences.
I carried this process with me in PLC meetings with the EDI teachers from the district.
My Designs and Artwork
My artwork has evolved over the years
My art started primarily with pencil drawings when I was young and then to portraits when I had some training in high school. In college I was able to work with some other mediums and really fell in love with oil pastels. In my professional career, I was able to learn to use design tools like InDesign to embrace my inner graphic designer.
