Instructional Design

[This is my favorite definition just because it is so succinctly universal in it's potential to explain such a vast vocation.]

Instructional Design [also called Instructional Systems Design (ISD)] is the practice of creating "instructional experiences which make the acquisition of knowledge and skill more efficient, effective, and appealing."

The process consists broadly of determining the current state and needs of the learner, defining the end goal of instruction, and creating some "intervention" to assist in the transition. Ideally, the process is informed by pedagogically (the process of teaching) and andragogically (adult learning) tested theories of learning and may take place in student-only, teacher-led, or community-based settings.

ABOUT ME

As a passionate and detail-oriented industry professional, I enjoy approaching complex projects with a holistic approach. A large part of my success while working with people stems from my ability to cultivate an intuitive understanding of their needs, and spearhead the project from there, making sure to ask the right questions.

America's future will be determined by the home and the school. The child becomes largely what she is taught; hence we must watch what we teach, and how we live.
