Curriculum

Authentic, Relevant & Aligned

Familiar with a variety of programs and best practices, I can help your school create curricula that is engaging, innovative, and research-based.

Most recently I worked with my administrative team and teachers in Red Bank, New Jersey to align our entire K-8 curricula with the NJSLS standards. In addition, I have had the opportunity to participate on various NJDOE committees to evaluate and refine ELA standards as well as Social Studies guidelines. I am most proud of our K-5 Workshop Model of Instruction for Mathematics and our Accelerated Math Pathways to provide equity for all of our students.

While in Fair Haven, New Jersey I collaborated with teachers and administrators to realign curricula to the New Jersey Student Learning Standards. View the presentations to right which explain and document our process. All presentations were shared during public meetings and on the district's website.

In addition, I have participated in the Teachers College Reading and Writing Workshop's Principal Institute. Both Founding Director Lucy Calkins and Deputy Director Amanda Hartman have led my study groups and I have been privileged to learn from masters in education including Grant Wiggins, Charlotte Danielson, and Stephanie Harvey just to name a few.
