A former Director of Innovation and Technology, technology integrator, and teacher, she has experience at many levels of the organizational structure. Her interest lies in reinvigorating and re-engaging teachers back into their profession, as well as what’s needed to support teachers in their pursuit of innovative and divergent thinking and teaching. She consults internationally with school districts and post-secondary institutions in the effective use of technology to support great teaching, mental health support for educators, and how to create organizational change. Her first book, The Fire Within: Lessons from defeat that have ignited a passion for learning, discusses mental health awareness for teachers. Her second book, Divergent EDU, is based on an organizational structure she developed to support teachers in innovative and divergent thinking. Her third book, based on educator engagement and mental health called Reignite the Flames, will be released spring 2020.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K61KWR6/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B07K61KWR6&linkCode=as2&tag=aspirewebsite-20&linkId=6100f0d3ca50b44ef84e1345ab105c19https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1732248710/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1732248710&linkCode=as2&tag=aspirewebsite-20&linkId=bd7cf3f871bffba924afdb89a15a4cf1Go Community![caption id="attachment_2270" align="alignnone" width="1024"] Better Leaders Better Schools[/caption]This community is one of my favorite one-stop-shop tools to engage with other amazing school leaders.
