My mentors are Susanne Croasdaile, croasdaile@gmail.com and Samantha Layne, samantha_layne@ccpsnet.net. I attended the PPDI SIM(TM) Academy at James Madison University in June of 2017, with Helen Barrier and Dana McCaleb. I found the Academy to be informative and pushed me to really think about my teaching and coaching styles. I learned and used CE routines that I had not used before, which made me excited to think of ways I could use them not only in my own classes but how I could coach my colleagues to use them as well. I felt like Helen and Dana really listened to use and made us feel at ease with presenting a routine. They gave us opportunities to discuss and ask questions, sometimes giving us answers and sometimes guiding us to where we could find our own answers.
I have been working with SIM and CE Routines for over 6 years. I have been both a practitioner and a lead in the classroom, at school level and division level. I have been working towards the SIM CE Professional Developer badge for three years.
