Hello Lawrence! 

I am thrilled to continue my career in the Lawrence Public School District as the District ELA Curriculum & Instructional Coach for both Lawrence High School and Free State High School. My role is to support teachers as they continue to review, adopt, and implement curriculum changes and culturally sustaining instructional practices. The district's vision of equity, cultural responsiveness and relevance, relationships, rigor, and excellence for all is the foundation of teaching and learning and provides direction for teacher support centered upon research and evidence-based instructional strategies. I look forward to working with Lawrence teachers and students!
