About

 

Hi! My name is Paige Lahaise and I am an Instructional Technology Facilitator with the Los Angeles Unified School District.  Since I was once an English teacher I would like to share about myself through an acrostic…

Insights:

Some words that describe me:

Collaborative, problem solver, enthusiastic, outspoken, idea generator, friendly, excited about tech, an innovative designer.

Giving Support:

I love supporting teachers and students to build their technology skills.

Experience:

I have been a teacher for over 20 years.

I began my career in E. LA at Euclid Ave. Elementary School.

I left there and taught in Seoul, Korea for a year.

When I returned I went to the San Gabriel School District and taught at Gabrielino High.

I then spent the next 15 years at Sherman Oaks Center for Enriched Studies. In addition to teaching AP, 11th, 12th & 8th grades, I was also the English Department Chair, College & Career Coach, Tech Coach and vocal advocate for teachers and students.

I left SOCES to help open the new CES: Maywood Center for Enriched Studies. I was there for one semester when I was hired for my DREAM job…

Which brings me “here”. I envisioned this job 20 years ago when I began teaching and I am so excited that my district has finally caught up with my vision. I have a strong tech background and have worked hard to incorporate technology into every aspect of my classroom.

I am in the process of becoming an ISTE Certified Educator. My portfolio will be completed and submitted in February 2019.

I am a Google for Education Certified Trainer.
