Math teacher developing curriculum and managing secondary (6th to 12th) grade scholars. Using data from Khan Academy and personal data tracking methods to measure student learning and improve student scores on standardized test (admin) and student grade progression (self-reflection).
Assigned Principal Investigator (PI) of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) grant. Responsible for semi-annual reports due for spending and program activities.
Developed syllabus and overall course structure and administered all grades for Geographic Information Technology and Physics courses. Assess existing Geographic Information Technology courses. Design and implement introductory and advance mathematics and physics courses.
Manage student tutors and learning center. Lab was reserved for studying and review for enrolled students. Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF).
"The GIST graduate certificate program consists of 12 units of core coursework in spatial thinking, spatial databases and spatial data acquisition. Students also select one elective course to complete the program and enhance their knowledge with more specific expertise. The nine available electives cover the whole field and range from cartography and visualization to web GIS."
"Students gain a strong foundation in teaching and content knowledge from experts in the field of education. Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College faculty actively engage in the educational research community and embed this vital knowledge throughout the program. This connection further empowers our students to engage in their own research through the culminating action research applied project.
A series of clinical experiences or field placements are designed to assist our students in developing a thorough understanding of teaching and learning as they apply knowledge from their coursework in varied school settings. Individualized guidance through our clinical framework provides our students with the support they need to be successful in today's rapidly evolving educational environment."
"Our program teaches students to organize, lead and manage the building process. With new technologies and opportunities, construction executives have large responsibilities and impact daily lives."
Working with multiple groups, courses for students that focus on Virtual Reality development using gaming development software and hardware. Whitehorse high school has worked on creating a lab within the school to keep students working at home. More opportunities help students continue through the summer with the Code to Success program provided by Bottega.
"In Tribal GIS: Supporting Native American Decision-Making, tribal leaders tell their stories about implementing and using geographic information systems (GIS) to address their unique challenges as sovereign Nations. This book covers applications in natural resources and the environment, transportation, cultural and historical preservation, economic development, health, education, public safety, and agriculture. Showing how tribal governments responsible for the stewardship of their land and resources and the health and well-being of their People use enterprise GIS to make decisions, Tribal GIS supports tribes new to GIS and those with GIS experience."
Hydraulic Fracking. The purpose of this project is to apply the web-mapping program, Leaflet, to Navajo Nation data relating to the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE), hydraulic fracking, and the new boundaries of the chapter houses within the Navajo Nation.
The Drought Severity Assessment Tool (DSAT) is a decision support tool created for the Navajo Nation to allow water managers to generate SPI values specific to chosen boundaries within the Nation. DSAT calculates 1-, 6-, or 12- month SPI values cell by cell from monthly precipitation rasters outputting SPI rasters of the area. These SPI rasters can then be processed using the tool, to output zonal statistics based on user-specified boundary layers, and be visualized over a web map.
