Oceanside Unified School District

Since I joined IEE in 2015, I have been working with Oceanside Unified School District. My role in supporting the district has shifted from a support role to now a project lead. From coaching teacher leaders and facilitating professional learning, I have been given opportunities to partner and learn from educators throughout the school district. Working alongside central office and site-leaders, I was tasked to develop professional learning aligned to the needs of the district. Examples of professional learning that I designed and implemented are focused around inquiry-based learning, project-based learning and meaningful technology integration. Through cycles of professional learning, participants co-designed learner profiles, school-wide essential elements of active learning, and units of study for their schools.

It has been a pleasure working with the thoughtful and passionate educators in Oceanside Unified School District!

"The training was fantastic; one of the best yet. For the first time I experienced what it was like to really work with others as a TEAM. The first time I felt like everyone's input was valued. Kim was such an integral part of the process. Love her!" - Palmquist Elementary Teacher

"If we want to create thinkers, teachers need to be thinkers first and engage in enriching practices and strategies to support our students. Thanks so much for your patience and sharing your knowledge." - Oceanside ELD Teacher
