Veteran educator with 17 years experience in public education
Written district assessments & curriculum for 14 years
Master’s Degree in Teacher Leadership with an emphasis on curriculum & instruction
My Master’s Degree focused on curriculum development and instructional resources. I would be committed to reviewing materials brought before the board and properly vetting those materials for historical accuracy and ensuring they were comprehensive through research and collaboration with experts and teachers in that field before any curriculum could be approved for adoption.
Religion should not be taught in public schools. If we open the door to allow Christianity to be taught in our schools then to be inclusive, we would have to allow all religions to be taught, including Satanism, Atheism, Catholicism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Scientology, etc. I believe that is what the church is for, and as a parent, I could choose to send my child to a religious school.
I think it depends on what they are wanting to teach and if they can pass the certification exam required for the subject they want to teach.
If they want to teach a specific trade that they have work experience in, I believe they could teach the content with some on-the-job pedagogy support.
If they want to teach a core subject, I believe they need to be certified in that content area.
I think it’s time to revisit graduation requirements in the State of Texas and eliminate the STAAR test as a requirement for graduation. I believe we need to create graduation pathways. Students should be able to choose a military pathway, trade pathway, higher education pathway, or traditional pathway. We need to normalize pathways other than college for our students.

I would encourage Texas Public Schools to teach about the History of Technology and Science (HoTS). I think this would provides students an an opportunity to explore how technological development and scientific innovation have shaped societies, cultures, and institutions across time and place. I think this could be very enjoyable and comprehensive which focus US History in a different way.
I support religious education so long it does not favor one religion over another. I think the teaching of region can be a very valuable skill if it taught right.
I do think that teachers certification is a huge barrier for those who are interested in teaching, Also the exams can be very hard. I would like to point out that college professors typically do not require a teaching certification. I do think that if you already have graduate degree such as masters or doctoral degree in your area of expertise. I do think that you should be able to teach.
I would like to mention the book ban and chronic absenteeism in s school comes to mind.
