She also works with school administration to explore solutions to funding, programming, and scheduling to ensure that all students have access to quality STEM educational experiences.
Anderson is also responsible for organizing school-wide STEM Night events for families and communities throughout Hood River County. She partnered with Cascade Locks Elementary to provide a community-wide STEM Night event and is currently planning community-wide STEM Nights for May Street, Parkdale and Mid Valley Elementary schools.
In addition to her work with students, Anderson supports other educators in their learning and growth. For example, this year she supported the HRCSD media specialists in receiving Code.org Training, and further supported them with bringing coding into their classroom instruction and curriculum by coordinating collaborative planning time to develop and implement classroom lessons for all students K-5.
Anderson is currently developing Ozobot Training to share with the entire Columbia Gorge Region this spring. She considers innovation a top priority, and continues to learn and grow through ongoing professional development.
Anderson has chosen to direct her award dollars to Hood River County School District.
