Welcome!
Here you will find stories of personal and professional life, trial and error, successes and failures—everything found within these pages is done with thoughtful intent and rooted in a Growth Mindset. The #AdultEdTech Blog is where much of this content will reside and includes a variety of topics ranging from self-reflection to sound practices.
Integrating choice, ownership, and voice through authentic learning opportunities (COVA) in our classrooms and in my own academic endeavors is a major objective of mine as we work through the 2019-20 academic year and prepare for 2020-21. It is very important that I model for my learners rather than instruct and not ask anything of them that I would not do myself. Giving them choice, ownership, and their own voice can make a difference. Connecting that difference to authentic, real-world experiences can take it to the next level.
By taking the approach of owning the learning process, positively reflecting on setbacks, choosing appropriate vehicles to deliver content, and amplifying authentic voices, we can create real and lasting change in our classrooms and communities. Please take a moment to read my Learning Manifesto and Learning Philosophy in order to better understand my perspectives on learning and leading in the 21st century classroom.
This website will always be just a current snapshot of my personal and professional journey, so please check back often.
I welcome your feedback and I thank you for stopping by!
