**EXPERIENCES ** **NELA COURSEWORK ** **SPECIALIZED TRAININGS ** **RELATED READINGS **
 * I consciously worked to improve my visibility throughout our campus during the school day. I track my activities and purposefully planned to check in on specific students, observe classes, and manage student discipline.
 * I contributed to my mentor principals weekly newsletter to the staff. I acknowledge those contributing positvely to the school mission, and also addressed those activities which detracted from the school's mission and culture.
 * I have regularly attended PLC's throughout my internship and have contributed insight and materials.
 * I have modeled lessons for faculty, this has primarily occurred as a result of PLC discussions related to the implementation of technology or the common core.
 * I was interviewed by our local newspaper and spoke highly of the NELA program, WC Schools, and my desire to affect lasting positive change in our community.
