SEL in the Art Classroom: Practical Strategies for K–5 Art Teachers
This self-paced e-learning module was designed for elementary art educators and focuses on integrating Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) into the art classroom. Developed using Nearpod and Canva, the course combines interactive activities, videos, reflection opportunities, and formative assessments to help teachers build classroom management strategies while fostering student self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. The module culminates in a performance-based task where participants design an SEL-integrated art lesson that can be immediately implemented in their classrooms.
Created as part of a Master of Education in Instructional Design capstone project at Western Governors University and evaluated through a mixed-methods research study with practicing art educators. Click the video below to preview the course experience.
6th Grade ELA Writing Course
This interactive e-learning course was designed to support 6th-grade students in developing narrative writing skills through a structured, scaffolded writing process. Learners create an original fictional character, develop a plot with a central conflict and resolution, and use story sequencing strategies to write a complete narrative. The course incorporates guided practice, interactive prompts, formative feedback opportunities, and step-by-step instruction to help students strengthen planning, organization, grammar, revision, and creative expression skills. The learning experience culminates in the publication and sharing of student-created stories with peers.

Storyboard/ Mock-up
​
This storyboard mock-up demonstrates my instructional design process from initial concept through course completion, showcasing how I design, organize, and plan a complete e-learning experience before development begins. Created for elementary art educators, this professional development module explores strategies for intentionally integrating geometry concepts into visual arts instruction. Through multimedia instruction, interactive content, scenario-based assessments, and reflective lesson-planning activities, learners examine connections between art and mathematics through concepts such as shape, symmetry, pattern, and proportion. The course culminates in the creation of a geometry-integrated art lesson that can be immediately implemented in the classroom.
