My primary focus was a comprehensive research project that explored the nature of texts available to elementary students during classroom literacy instruction. Additionally, I developed a new interdisciplinary course titled IDIS 150: Exploring Social Justice, designed to deepen students' understanding of social justice themes in multiple disciplines. Beyond these academic pursuits, I also dedicated time to professional learning, completing many webinars and a specialized course on artificial intelligence. These experiences have not only enriched my expertise but also enhanced my contributions to our academic community.8 pagesSabbaticalSocial JusticeLiteracy-based instructional practicesProfessional DevelopmentText
