I engage with and support all students in their learning goals by providing differentiated instruction that captures interest, meets individual needs, and provides an equitable learning space for all students.

I create and maintain an effective learning environment that invites students to be brave and take risks. By providing actionable feedback and fostering an environment of joyous support, students are invited to be their unapologetic selves.

I bring into the classroom an understanding of the subject matter that ensures student development and mastery of learning goals. I organize content in ways that tailors lessons to the specific needs of my students.

I design learning experiences that are accessible to all students. When planning instruction, I take into account not only what my students need to learn, but how they learn it in their own multiple intelligences.

I assess student learning by setting specific expectations, and following through by providing timely and actionable feedback to my students as they develop their skills. Art is subjective and infinite, but skill building is measurable.

I believe in the importance of collaboration across content areas. Whether it is labeled as arts integration or simply teamwork, student success is tied to the way educators connect and work together to support student success.
