One of the most meaningful parts of my experience in EDLD 5303 was the opportunity to collaborate closely with my group. In an online graduate program, it can be easy to feel disconnected or isolated, but working alongside Chatana, Kayla, Chalice, and Diamond completely changed that experience for me. What began as a group assignment quickly developed into a supportive learning community built on trust, communication, and shared commitment. From the start, our group worked we

Creating my Learning Manifesto pushed me to articulate what I truly believe about teaching, learning, and the role of the learner. It required me to step back and examine not only what I do in the classroom, but why  I do it. This reflection helped me define the type of learning community I want to create; one grounded in curiosity, collaboration, relevance, and intentional design. My manifesto emphasizes that students are not empty vessels waiting to be filled; they are acti

Learning is not a moment, a worksheet, or a perfectly structured lesson. Learning is a journey that takes curiosity, courage, and community. Over time, I’ve realized that students learn best when the environment invites them to ask questions, explore ideas, make mistakes, and see themselves as capable thinkers.

Redesign Frustration, Support, and the Pressure for Perfection Redesigning my ePortfolio has been an emotional rollercoaster. It's equal parts excitement, frustration, and determination. What seemed simple at the beginning quickly became overwhelming as I tried to refine the layout, adjust design elements, and make the site visually cohesive while still meeting all academic expectations. I found myself going in circles, fixing one section only to realize three more needed att

Finding My Voice in My ePortfolio Voice is what makes an ePortfolio powerful. It transforms a collection of assignments into a personal narrative of who I am as an educator and leader. My voice shows up through my reflections, choices, and the artifacts I highlight. It communicates my values, beliefs, and goals to the world. My Journey from Start to Finish When I began this journey, I was learning the basics of digital design and reflective writing. As I progressed: I refined

Balancing Leadership and Growth Mindset Feedforward has taught me that leadership is not about perfection, it is about progress. Being open to feedback requires humility and vulnerability, qualities essential to both leadership and a growth mindset. As I grow as a leader, I must remain open-minded, willing to learn, and committed to continuous self-improvement. What Feedforward Has Taught Me Feedforward shifted my focus from “What did I do wrong?” to “What can I do better nex

What I Have Learned About Leadership This course has reshaped my understanding of leadership. I learned that leadership is not about authority; it is about influence, service, and vision. Leadership is the practice of guiding others toward shared goals while modeling resilience, integrity, and continual growth. I discovered that transformational leadership encourages empowerment and inspires teams to exceed expectations. The Kind of Leader I Hope to Be I identify most strongl

Modern K–12 Classrooms & Digital Transformation Transforming Traditional Classrooms into Dynamic Learning Environments K–12 schools are undergoing a profound shift as they adopt digital tools, flexible classroom designs, and student-centered philosophies. The traditional model, rows of desks, teacher-directed instruction, and isolated learning; is being replaced with dynamic, interactive environments that align with how modern students learn. Through my professional experienc

Why an ePortfolio Matters for My Growth as a Professional When I first began building my ePortfolio, I saw it only as a class assignment. Over time, especially through my work in EDLD 5302, it has evolved into something much deeper: a space where my learning, voice, and professional identity come together. Creating an ePortfolio requires intentionality. It forces me to articulate what I know, demonstrate how I grew, and display the kind of educator and digital leader I am bec
