Bio

I serve as the Director of Online Professional Development at the New Teacher Center. I joined the NTC in 2007 with a focus on supporting beginning teachers in rural areas. I have worked as an online mentor, facilitator and facilitator coordinator in the e-Mentoring for Student Success program since 2002 prior to working for the NTC full time. I was a National Board Certified middle school science teacher and taught both high school and middle school for over twenty years. Most of my teaching was in East Helena, Montana; a small industrial town where I worked with high needs students who form the majority in the district. I was honored to be selected and to represent Montana as Montana's Teacher of the Year in 2004. I am also been actively involved in statewide service in science education. My area of interest is professional learning, particularly through online learning.
