Vision

Hello! My name is Nyree Clark and I am so glad you are here.
I am a Curriculum Program Specialist for Educational Technology Pre-Kindergarten through sixth grade. I support students, teachers, administrators, classified employees, and district office personnel. 

My areas of focus have been in Gifted and Talented Education (GATE), as a Reading Interventionist, EdTech integrations, and Culturally Responsive Teaching pedagogy. 

Through my training in Cognitive Coaching I have built capacity in the areas of equity, inclusion, and curriculum practices through the integration of technology skills and practices.


"Invest in students beyond the content. When students know you're investing in them, they know they matter." Nyree


Mission

I am passionate about providing equity in education for ALL students and adult learners. 

When students and adult learners are able to see themselves represented in their learning environment they feel valued. 

My mission is to empower educators to provide equitable educational experiences for ALL learners. Some examples of strategies and practices to make this happen include ...

  • Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) pedagogy
  • Representative content of those you are teaching
  • High academic expectations for ALL students

and professional development that acknowledges CRT as a "mindset" or lens that you continually see through to provide an inclusive and equitable learning environment for all.
