Work

Curriculum & projects

Programs are built backwards from what a student should be able to do — then made teachable for the instructor standing in front of them.

Caution Tape Robotics

STEM course library

A structured library of robotics, coding, and maker courses with a defined progression from first-time builders to competition-level students. Each course carries its own scope and sequence, lesson materials, and assessment.

My contribution

Educational standards every course must meet before it is published
Scope-and-sequence review across tracks so levels build on each other
Lesson-level quality review: learning goals, pacing, and cognitive load

Caution Tape Robotics

Monthly challenge curriculum

Short, self-contained challenge arcs that give students a build-and-compete goal while still teaching a defined set of concepts week over week.

My contribution

Defining the teaching arc: scaffold, practice, payoff
Making sure each week has a distinct instructional role
Balancing hands-on time against direct instruction

Caution Tape Robotics

Instructor training program

Onboarding and ongoing development for instructors who arrive with strong technical skill and varying teaching experience.

My contribution

Training materials and onboarding sequence for new instructors
Classroom practice coaching: questioning, pacing, management
Observation and feedback cycles tied to program standards

Toronto District School Board

Classroom practice, TDSB

Day-to-day secondary teaching within the Ontario curriculum — the practice that keeps the program work honest.

My contribution

Unit and lesson planning against Ontario curriculum expectations
Assessment and evaluation consistent with Growing Success
Differentiation for mixed-readiness classes

How the work is organized

Curriculum development

Scope and sequence, unit design, lesson materials, and the assessment that goes with them — built so a program holds together across a whole term, not just a single class.

Educational standards

Defining what good means for a lesson before it ships: learning goals, success criteria, cognitive load, and the balance of doing versus reading.

Teacher development

Onboarding, training, and coaching for instructors — turning written curriculum into confident teaching in front of real students.

STEM program design

Robotics, coding, and maker programs designed as genuine learning progressions rather than activity collections.
