A Philosophy of Making

• Job-Embedded Modeling & Co-Facilitation: Delivering high-impact, side-by-side support inside the classroom by directly modeling and co-facilitating immersive STEAM lessons with both teachers and students to build educator confidence and capacity in real time.

​

• Custom Curriculum Design: Creating or refining K-12 computer science, cybersecurity, and media science scopes and sequences aligned with ISTE, CSTA, and state standards.

​

• Teacher Mentorship & Capacity Building: Coaching classroom teachers and building-level STEM leads to confidently facilitate robotics, coding, and makerspace environments.

​

• Strategic Advisory: Consulting on district-wide CS for All and STEM for All frameworks, technology infrastructure, and LMS (Canvas/Qmlative) optimization.

​

• Media Center Optimization: Consulting on library media center management, including establishing modern inventory control systems, equipment maintenance protocols, digital database support, and aligning media center resources directly with K-12 STEM curriculum development.

​

• Makerspace Design & Program Implementation: Advising districts on the design, inventory control, and maintenance protocols of modern makerspaces. Specialized in developing aligned STEAM curriculum materials and providing targeted educator training on high-tech fabrication tools (3D printers, laser cutters) and robotics platforms (VEX and Mindstorms).

​

• State Assessment Administration: Administer and proctor high-stakes IDOE assessments (ILEARN and IREAD-3), maintaining impeccable test security, coordinating accommodations, and ensuring strict compliance with state and district assessment policies.
