Hello!
I have been an educator for nearly a quarter of a century! I started my instructional career in 2000 as a chemistry teacher. During this time, I took courses to achieve a Master of Science degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I chose to walk away from a classroom position in 2007 to pursue a lifetime goal in the achievement of a Doctorate in Learning Design and Technology.
While working towards the degree, I was offered a position at Purdue University North Central (PNC) as a liaison for the secondary instructors who were teaching concurrent enrollment (AKA dual credit) through PNC. Later I was promoted to the Academic Director of Concurrent Enrollment. In that role, I managed and aligned all the coursework for the entire university and their partnering high school teachers.
As my children grew and started primary school, I chose to return to the high school classroom. This decision allowed better overlap with the children's academic calendar. Now my children are entering secondary school and no longer require as much attention. Therefore, it is time for me to enter the corporate world as an instructional designer.
I am truly excited to create lessons to help companies fill knowledge gaps and thus assist in the growth of their organization.
I look forward to meeting you!
Sincerely,
Annette
