Why
instructional design?
Although
I am only a three-year veteran of the K- 12 environment, it
did not take long before I became acutely aware that there
were some gaps in the educational process. I am a firm believer
in becoming part of the cure if there is a problem that exists
and bothers you, so, I became interested in the curriculum
design process. It is my intention to identify areas of need
and implement programs that will eventually fill some of the
gaps in the educational design in our school district. Eventually
I would like to compile a database for each Mathematics Standard
of Learning that includes an instructional design with support
materials. It is my intention to create a portable instruction
manual that will become a resource for new teachers to the
district. |

Biographical
Information
After
moving to Virginia 7 years ago, I was afforded the opportunity
to leave the medical field and pursue my goal of obtaining
a teacher's license. I obtained a Bachelor of Science and
my teaching license from Christopher Newport University.
It is my belief that I will forever be a student. As I continue
with my education, I am discovering how much I do not know
and how much I really love to learn.
