What steps would you take to implement the Kirwan Commission’s Report on the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future?
To implement the Blueprint for Maryland's Future, I will propose the use of marketing, scholarship programs, and career advancement opportunities to harbor interest to increase recruitment and retention of FCPS staff to handle the staff shortage. Funds retained from less outsourcing, can fund increased wages, staffing to handle excess workload, more funding for Special Education, and more facilities with the expansion of Pre-K, to handle the disparity of facilities available in Frederick County.
What ideas do you have for enhancing civics education in the schools?
To trust teachers to implement strategies, they know will work for student engagement, interest, and proficiency in
their classrooms. In addition, the curriculum must be reviewed, and upon review, adjusted to ensure students are being taught subjects that will enhance their education, and prepare them for the future.
What ideas would you bring to meet the needs of Special Education students?
Based on my research of proficiency, among special education students we need to evaluate the curriculum, and ensure that Special Education students are properly prepared for assessment, and overall increasing proficiency. In addition, hiring additional staff to handle the workload on Special Education teachers, will be vital to ensuring their focus on the needs of their students and their academic success.
What do you think are the best ways to develop critical thinking skills in students?
By incorporating STEM in our curriculum, we can challenge students to create solutions for real-world problems using innovative, and creative thinking. In addition, students will harbor more interest in learning, because they are able to utilize their skills for problem solving. We can incorporate more opportunities for growth, and success as seen with Project Paradigm, which offers scholarships to students that use creativity, and innovation to propose a solution to a real world problem.
What are your top three priorities for the school board?
As a survivor of a shooting at Frederick High School in 2015, I want to ensure school safety. In addition, enhancing effective bullying prevention policies, accessible and affordable mental health resources for students. My priorities align with ensuring that the student, teacher, and parent voice is accounted for in every decision, to improve the Frederick County school system for all.
