I have worked as an Educator for 15 years. While I am currently taking a break for medical reasons, I am still creating content. I used these years empowering group of students with every disability imaginable, with highly traumatized students, with Newcomers to the States (and to English), and with student from 6th grade through adulthood. I am especially good at helping other educators revise their materials so that they will work for *all* students, across lines of fluency, disability, culture, and academic background. Universal design, SEI, and Equitable Access are my passions. I apply these same skills to my work with social justice coalitions. I hope to improve their educational efforts, teammate relationships, and inter-organization collaboration. Please use and enjoy these resources as you serve your students and their community!

Student-centered. I always help my students develop their study habits, utilize their strengths, and make choices about how they will learn and express their learning. I'm great at differentiating instruction (both in terms of depth and choice), and have a lot of fun with what I do. I use routines, protocols, and iconography to prompt students to do various student-led activities. This not only adds many useful-for-life tools to their metacognitive toolbox, but teaches them to improve outcomes while working on various types of teams. When students feel safe, they open up to academic risk. Once they take academic risks, they can wrestle deeply with content. When they wrestle with content, they learn. When they facilitate others' learning, they lead.
