Description:
I belong to e-learning communities (Linked In) and attend various professional development training seminars (KSU and APS Professional Development). My professional development integrates relevant and current best practices. As a Master teacher, I continually look for professional development opportunities offered to better utilize the technology in the content delivery. I attend sessions focusing on using the Web for research, conversing with community member’s online, making effective presentations with PowerPoint and utilizing Learning Management Systems ( Livebinders) for measure student outcomes.

Impact:
Working with other professional members allows me to focus on personal growth related to stress management, career burnout, energize my life and boost my ability to teach better. I have been offered a position as an e-faciliator for professional development. (Email)

Intent:
I would like to continue to grow professionally as I move towards higher education and or administration. My goal is to be an Instructional Designer.
