• Develop education operations scenarios involving tools such as PowerSchool, Canvas/Google Classroom, state assessment platforms, and district-level MTSS/RTI systems.
• Apply K-12 pedagogical frameworks like Universal Design for Learning, standards-based grading, data-driven instruction, and restorative practices. Produce reference lesson plans, IEP documentation, and administrator-level communications.
