MYP Design Teacher
Stamford American International School Singapore·Singapore·July 2025 – Present
- Applied data-informed teaching using formative assessments, process journals, and a post-unit survey system to guide differentiation and unit revision. Students returned a 95% "Encourages Perseverance" score on the 2026 Voice of the Student Survey.
- Led an AI-assisted redesign of three Grade 8 (MYP Year 3) Design units — Open Source Robotics, Scaled Architecture, and 3D Modeling — rebuilding e-journals, instructional decks, and rubrics from a single design specification with Claude Cowork. EAL vocabulary scaffolding runs throughout, improving curricular progression and assessment coverage. Configured a Flint AI tutor as a Socratic guide for students.
- Designed a cross-departmental AI literacy lesson for the IB Sports and Exercise Science team, translating principles from graduate research on LLM mechanics into a four-activity instructional sequence targeting critical evaluation of AI-generated content in Internal Assessment workflows. Produced a comprehensive facilitator guide enabling independent delivery by subject-area teachers without AI expertise.
- Served on the secondary curriculum inquiry cycle reviewing the Design and Computer Science programs school-wide, covering written curriculum examination, transition and performance data analysis, and integrated recommendations against Cognita and IB expectations. Contributed to vertical alignment of the Design curriculum under the Enhanced MYP framework.
- Consulted on the design and structure of a new AI Literacy co-curricular activity, advising the Secondary Digital Learning Coordinator on curriculum sequencing and instructional materials grounded in AI fluency frameworks.
- Engineered a streamlined back-end reporting architecture for the Design department to solve reporting cohesion and inefficiency. The system became widely adopted by peers, significantly reducing administrative overhead during reporting cycles.
Mathematics and Computer Science Teacher | Emergent Technology Coach
TIS Macao·Macao SAR, China·August 2020 – July 2025
- Taught Grade 8 – 9 Mathematics and Grade 10 – 12 Computer Science, following Alberta Ministry of Education and IB standards, achieving standardized scores 11–17% above the assessment average.
- Overhauled the Middle School Mathematics program to follow both Alberta and IB standards, and developed 13 interdisciplinary MYP Mathematics investigations for Grades 8 and 9, including designing task-specific assessment rubrics based on MYP Mathematics Criteria, and training on the usage of generative AI tools to assist with rubric creation. One investigation had students generate design ideas with AI tools and 3D-print scale architectural models.
- Developed and revised internal assessments for Grades 7 through 9 (MYP 2 through 4), including blueprint maps and mark schemes. Ensured assessments aligned with MYP Mathematics command terms, IB MYP content benchmarks, and the Alberta program of studies for a thorough and standardized evaluation process. Assessment data analysis confirmed internal grading aligned within 5% of external benchmarks.
- Led professional development workshops on Google Workspace productivity strategies, Generative AI, and VR/AR, which received widely positive feedback and resulted in self-reported workload improvements and stress reduction among participants, and provided new avenues for authentic emergent technology use for learning.
- Consolidated and reorganized Secondary Mathematics resources into a shared system that grew into a Google Workspace redesign, creating comprehensive informational documentation. This initiative enhanced both synchronous and asynchronous collaboration among teachers, improved transparency between grade levels, and provided a structured repository for resource continuity. These enhancements resulted in better internal benchmark tracking and improved retention of institutional knowledge, ultimately implemented across all of Secondary.
- Expanded a Mathematics competition program that provided further avenues for Mathematical learning, resulting in a 35% increase in participation over two years, with students earning accolades, recognition, and prizes.
