Instruction
• Instructional Vision
I have experience in developing a shared vision for quality instruction.
I have found that stakeholder need daily reminders of the established
vision to assure continued commitment to its implement. Embedding elements
of vision a classroom's sign is one way to communicate that a vision for
learning is lived daily.
• High-Quality Content
Access to high-quality content is rooted in learning standards. As
educators we adapt to accessing learning standards including movement
to the Common Core Standards. From the standards we use tools including
textbooks, trade books, and media resources to meet instructional needs.
Staff need to have an awareness of available tools and need to be able
to effectively evaluate the instructional tools. I have experience in
adapting and creating tools for collaborative evaluation of potential
content.

• Data-Driven Improvement
When educators link taught content and learning standards to assessment,
students benefit from more targeted instructional practices. I have experience
in adapting and creating tools for data triangulation to enable reflection
on available data for instructional improvements. Additionally, understanding
the big picture can enable stakeholder to analyze details from a global
perspective.
