I’ve been a teacher for over 20 years, but I’ll be honest—the last few have been some of my most rewarding. Since 2020, I’ve found myself part of a community of creative educators that has turned out to be the best professional development of my entire career.

If you’ve ever walked into a room and thought, “Ah. These are my people,”—that’s what joining the ACE Innovator community felt like for me. It’s a global family of big dreamers who believe students deserve to make and imagine, not just memorize. We share ideas across every state and multiple countries, all fueled by a love for digital creation and genuine connection.

Why This Community Matters

This project is just a small example of what happens when you’re surrounded by people who:

• Love designing experiences, not just lesson plans.
• Share ideas generously, without ego.
• Believe creativity is the path to student joy and agency.

I’m so grateful for the support and connections I’ve made. It’s amazing what we can create when we dream together!
