Professional Development Series 2016
A specialized professional development digital pipeline engineered to scale Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) methodologies for global K-12 educators. Focused on flagship programs including 'NGSS Demystified' and 'Setting Up Your Science Notebooks,' this instructional media series translates high-level pedagogical frameworks into actionable, classroom-ready video toolkits hosted by master educator instructors, active Academy scientists, and student practitioners.
Production & Operational Footprint
End-to-End Field Production & Directing: Spearheaded the hands-on field production, location scouting, and technical staging for classroom and studio environments. Directed both adult master instructors and elementary school student talent to capture authentic, high-impact instructional workflows, running secondary camera arrays and auxiliary audio capture as required.
Full-Lifecycle Editorial & Post Production: Personally executed the comprehensive editorial assembly, multi-track audio engineering, and color grading for two complete professional development series, utilizing an agile post-production pipeline to deliver high volumes of specialized educational media.
Custom Educational Animation & Motion Graphics: Designed, animated, and integrated custom informational graphics, text overlays, and visual callouts engineered to emphasize NGSS criteria, making abstract educational standards visually scannable and digestible for working educators.
Cross-Departmental Institutional Alignment: Collaborated directly with the Academy’s Teacher Professional Development team, curriculum writers, and scientific advisors to bridge the gap between active field research, institutional compliance, and practical classroom implementation strategies.
