Hi! I’m Deana (pronounced Dena). I serve as the Executive Director, Model of Instruction here at IE. Some of you might know it as Academic Teaming. I lead the team that creates and supports all things Model of Instruction, including: the toolkits, on-site PD, online academies, faculty support in schools etc… I have been in education for 28 years. I was a classroom teacher for almost half of that time and have had various leadership positions in the schools, regionally and at the district level. I currently live in Austin, Texas and spent much of my career in Alberta, Canada.
I am looking forward to interacting with all of you as we support and learn together in this community.
I spent more than 30 years in public education serving students, teachers, and administrators in North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, and Florida, and believe education is the great equalizer. After serving for several years as Assistant Principal and Principal, I became the Director of Elementary Curriculum for one of the nation’s largest school districts. I also served on the Board of Directors for the Early Learning Coalition and on the Board of Advisors for the Children’s Movement, reflecting my dedication to early childhood and social justice. My work with IE aligns perfectly with my passion for ensuring all students have access to a rigorous and engaging curriculum. I love to read, run, and play with my Yorkies.
