About My Teaching

Enclosed you will find a collection of teaching samples, which includes my teaching philosophy statement, sample syllabi, and free course resources. I hope that these materials will provide you with a better understanding of my teaching style and approach.

Adobe Captivates

I am in the process of developing Adobe Captivate lessons for secondary and university classrooms. Launching September 2024.

Free Resources

Check out my free resources for secondary instructors. Light store coming soon with more robust offerings.

Why Am I Preparing to Sell Lessons & Course Materials

As much as I would love to provide all of my teaching resources for free, the reality is that creating high-quality lessons and materials takes a significant amount of time and effort. In order to continue developing these resources, I will be offering sales on lessons and materials through my future light store. Thank you for your understanding. Signing up for my newsletter will provide you with chances to win free content that is normally sold for a fee. This service is still under construction and will launch during the 2024-2025 school year.
