I led strategic planning and project implementation without employing a full-time IT team by effectively managing resources from project budgets to a cross-functional team of 20-25 contractors, vendors, consultants, and off-site network administrative resources.

Spearheaded change management initiatives for the adoption of new technology by interviewing and getting buy-in from key stakeholders, providing hands-on user training, and modeling new technology in classrooms with students. Leveraged change champions to facilitate adoption of changes by training teachers to specialize in a specific piece of new technology and lead training of other teachers. Upskilled teachers to accelerate usage of online instructional tools and applications in the classroom by identifying future skills needs, coordinating contractors to provide initial user training and support, and staggering additional user trainings over time. Boosted the timeliness and effectiveness of communicating student performance to parents by leading the transition to electronic report card delivery after collaborating with teachers, administrative staff, and parents and training teachers to navigate new systems. Improved parent satisfaction with communications from teachers by introducing solution to share individual progress and curriculum delivered in early childhood classrooms by text.
