Professional Development
I, along with two colleagues, presented our Citizen Athlete Program to a national audience of educational professionals.
The breakout session was titled, For Our Children: DUE it!
ISN
Innovative Schools Network
The Innovative Schools Network (ISN) supports the establishment and growth of high quality, research-based innovative schools by providing professional training and guidance, and ensuring that educators can easily collaborate, connect, and learn from one another.
The mission of the ISN is to provide the nation’s public school educators, administrators and related leaders with a network that builds a culture of innovation in thought and practice to transform learning and schools.

PLC's
PLC at Work Institute | Solution Tree
Build school culture where learning thrives
“After several months of research and dialogue with practitioners throughout the nation, it became apparent that the hype was real. PLCs . . . are being used by schools and districts of all sizes and demographics to make significant impacts on student achievement.”
—Evaluating Professional Learning Communities: Final Report, An APQC® Education Benchmarking Project
The Professional Learning Communities at Work™ process is increasingly recognized as the most powerful strategy for sustained, substantive school improvement. This institute gives you and your team the knowledge and tools to implement this powerful process in your school or district.
As you delve deep into the three big ideas of a PLC—focus on learning, build a collaborative culture, and results orientation—you will gain specific, practical, and inspiring strategies for transforming your school or district into a place where all students learn at high levels.
NUA
National Urban Alliance
The NUA’s mission is to substantiate an irrefutable belief in the capacity of all public school children to achieve the high intellectual performances demanded by our ever changing global community. The focus is teacher and administrator quality through professional development which incorporates current research from cognitive neuroscience on learning, teaching, and leading. They partner with school districts to support the building of their capacity to advocate community-wide responsibility for realizing the learning potential of its children.
International Baccalaureate | Diploma & MYP
The International Baccalaureate® aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.
To this end the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment.
These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.
IB
I have been trained in both the MYP Programme as well as the HL Mathematics Programme.
Since 2009 I have approximately averaged 90% of my students earning college credit by earning a 3 or higher on the AP exam.
AP
AP College Board | AP Statistics
The AP Statistics course is equivalent to a one-semester, introductory, non-calculus-based college course in statistics. The course introduces students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. There are four themes in the AP Statistics course: exploring data, sampling and experimentation, anticipating patterns, and statistical inference. Students use technology, investigations, problem solving, and writing as they build conceptual understanding.
