Session description

Earning ISTE Certification didn't just validate my practice — it became a throughline across every role I've held. As an instructional technology coach, it sharpened how I supported teachers. As a district STEM leader, it anchored my professional learning design. Now, as a Senior Manager at a K-12 edtech company, it shapes how I build curriculum, evaluate tools, and advocate for accessibility and inclusive design. This session traces that journey honestly — the growth, the pivots, and what it looks like to keep ISTE standards alive not just in classrooms, but in industry. You don't leave the standards behind. You carry them forward.
