Co-led the design and implementation of a middle-school program at Coal Creek beginning in the fall of 2003. As

the school had been previously structured as a kindergarten through sixth-grade facility, many norms had to be

great strides were made in structuring a child-centered constructivist curriculum, while enhancing individual

evolution of an inspired methodology in a new setting such as Coal Creek, the responsibility of budgeting and

purchasing of materials conducive to this effort was accomplished.

and a number of innovative computer applications including PowerPoint, Microsoft Word, Flash, and Adobe

InDesign, many advances were instituted to increase student and staff familiarity with available equipment and

advance curriculum and academic expectations. Current technology was intertwined fully

into existing district curriculum and personally fabricated instruction so as to align with

standards and achieve a well-rounded and comprehensive manner of teaching.
