    • Kickapoo Area School District

      Aug 2000 - Aug 2012

      Young Astronauts is an after school Gifted and Talented program. Each year, we choose a different aspect of space to focus on and create a project to demonstrate our learning. Quiz Bowl is an after school Gifted and Talented program for middle school students. We meet and study various topics to prepare for a competition against other local schools. The District Technology Committee makes recommendations for technology-related purchases and for curriculum. I was the assistant to the District's Director of Technology to write the last two Technology Plans. This position morphed from elementary (4th grade Science) to middle and high school (Algebra) positions in Math, Science, Social Studies, and Language Arts. I was fortunate to help transition the 6th grade as an elementary grade level to being a part of the middle school. Kickapoo Area Schools is fortunate to have 300+ acres of prairie, school forest and wetlands most of which has been donated or soon will be from the Griffin Trust. The KGLST oversees the land management plan and ensures that the wishes of Mr. and Mrs. Griffin are carried out according to their wishes - kept in its natural state and used for arboreal studies. I coordinated the GT programs in my District and managed the budget. I was president of the Mississippi Valley Gifted and Talented Association for three years.
