Curriculum & Instruction for Teachers

I design curriculum and instructional resources that support effective classroom implementation, standards alignment, and early literacy instruction. The projects in this section reflect practical teaching contexts while demonstrating intentional planning, scaffolding, and instructional clarity.

What you’ll see here

  • Standards-aligned lesson and unit design for elementary classrooms

  • Instructional materials grounded in structured literacy and best practices

  • Teacher-facing supports that clarify implementation and differentiation

  • Designs informed by learner needs, classroom constraints, and instructional goals
