Sara was a Math, Science and Engage teacher at Birmingham Covington School for 13 years before adding the roles of Learning Mentor and Process Development Coach to her repertoire. Sara is a consultant for November Learning and a member of the EdLeader21 Advisory Team. In each capacity, Sara strives to connect the experiences of students, teachers and administrators to foster a critical understanding around the meaningful integration of technology, pedagogy and content. Sara has facilitated workshops at schools, educational conferences and professional development seminars, nationally and internationally, and truly appreciates the pervasive and undeniable message threaded throughout BLC that it is not about the tools and technology, but about relationships and learning. Sara holds a B.A. from Eastern Michigan University and an M.A.in Educational Technology from Michigan State University.
