Projects
Quality Rating Improvement. Took the classroom from 3 to 5 on the state quality scale across 2 cycles by rebuilding the learning environment and documentation practice. Most of the gain came from recording what children were already doing.
Early Intervention Referrals. Ran 36 developmental screenings a year and referred 7 children for evaluation, 5 of whom qualified for services. Catching a speech or motor delay at 3 changes what school looks like at 6.
Family Communication Rebuild. Replaced a paper daily sheet with photo-based updates showing what a child actually did, which lifted parent conference attendance and gave families something specific to talk about at home.
Extra-Curricular Activities
- Volunteer at a community story hour twice a month, reading to about 25 children each session.
- Serve on a local early childhood association committee with roughly 90 member educators.
- Complete about 30 hours of professional development a year, above the state requirement.
Leadership
- Lead a classroom team of 2 assistant teachers, setting daily plans and coaching practice.
- Mentored 4 assistant teachers toward lead roles across 6 years, 3 now leading classrooms.
- Trained 12 centre staff on developmental screening and observation documentation.
