I am a Technology Instructional Specialist and Digital Learning Partner (DLP) at B.B. Comer High School from Talladega County, Alabama. This is my first year as an Instructional Coach! Previously, I taught middle school Social Studies for 6 years.  My love of history, technology and PBLs drove my instruction on a daily basis. This passion and my close relationship with my DLP drove me to seek out my own DLP position. My first year as a DLP has provided me so many learning experiences, professional development, and ways to grow as a person. In this blog, I hope to share my tips and tricks, as well as, highs and lows of navigating my new career. I also want to highlight effective strategies for my new role and ones that weren't so effective for me.
