 For the past five years, I have been regularly attending Board of Education
meetings in Wayland Union. I have served on school committees including the
Mathematics committee, Science committee, Technology committee, Tech Prep
committee, and various other committees within the school. I represented the
teaching staff on site visits during last spring’s Superintendent search. I am
on the Superintendent’s Advisory committee and the Superintendent’s Gifted and
Talented committee.
I served a term as treasurer for the Wayland Union Education Association. I am
currently serving my second term as chair of the council of local Michigan
Education Association presidents from Allegan County (officially, the 9F
President’s Coordinating Council) including its Student Scholarship committee
for aspiring educators. I serve on the Executive Committee of the Michigan
Education Association’s Region 9 Council in Grand Rapids. I will be representing
the area at the Representative Assembly for the Michigan Education Association
in Lansing at the end of the month. I will also be representing Michigan at the
Representative Assembly of the National Education Association in Los Angeles
this July.
I served on the Allegan County Children Museum research committee. I am a member
of the Courage to Teach program, which focuses on developing excellence and
master in the teaching profession. I am also a member of the Michigan
Association for Computer Users in Learning and presented at their 2004
conference in Grand Rapids. In the past, I have been a member of the Michigan
Council of Teachers of Mathematics. I was also a member of the Michigan Science
Teachers Association for whom I presented for their 2001 conference. In
addition, I have served the State of Michigan on the a committee to help select
appropriate questions for the middle school MEAP tests.
Over the past thirteen years, I have taught for five public school districts:
Muskegon, Lakeshore, Bear Lake, Allegan ISD, and Wayland Union. During that
time, I have worked with students from kindergarten through twelfth grade; from
the gifted all the way to the cognitively impaired. In the elementary, I helped
teachers as consultant for math and science. I am currently completing my fourth
year teaching computer classes and running the TV News teams at Wayland Union
Middle School. |
