Greetings! I am the Instructional Technology Coach at the amazing BSE where we are “Building a Community of Leaders.” We are a Title I school located in rural South Carolina. After 20 years in education, I am excited for this new journey and all the learning opportunities it will bring. I know that working with students in kindergarten through 5th grade will bring challenges that will strengthen us all. Welcome to our STEM adventure and fasten your seat belts for the ride!
If there is one lesson that I have learned, it is not to place my own limitations on my students.
When you serve students in a high need, high poverty area, every advantage has the potential to be life-changing. No matter what challenges our students may face in life, they come to school ready to learn and eager to explore.
My Project
I am requesting travel costs to attend a conference on innovative techniques that are cutting edge and based on current research. This is a unique opportunity to bond with educators around the world. The setting for this professional development will provide a relaxing and fun environment for learning.
I am looking forward to experiencing a new culture and their educational setting as well.
What a joy it will be to provide resources to students in the Bahamas. In addition, I will be able to share the ideas that I learn with my colleagues. With a focus on literacy and teaching our diverse learners, we are always searching for best practice strategies to implement in the classroom.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
