Tennessee Connections AcademyHealth Educator; Student Activities Director
Aug. 2018 - Jul. 2023Tennessee, United StatesI served as the Health Education Teacher, Student Activities Director, and Electives/CTE Department Chairperson at Tennessee Connections Academy. The TNCA High School is an online public school serving 1500 students from across the state of TN. In my roll as Educator I have analyzed and rewritten curriculum, designed fun and engaging lessons, researched current trends in health, and managed a case load of 400-1500 students at a time.
AS Department Chairperson I staff regular department meetings as well as smaller PLCs, and individual conferences for a team of ~10 teachers. I am the communication manager between teachers in my department and school administration.
As Student Activities Director - I manage a team of ~20 high school students, educating them in leadership, program management and event planning. Students are carefully selected by application process and serve as representatives of the student body to the school administration. I oversee the planning of cultural and social events to increase school spirit and meet the social needs of adolescents. In this particular setting and because of the Covid-19 pandemic, all events for the last 4 years have taken place in a virtual setting, which has been a challenge of it's own. I am very proud of the work I have done with Tennessee Connections Academy.
