CJ Lewis – Teacher/Instructional Designer

A pristine whiteboard stretching across a modern classroom wall, covered with meticulously drawn diagrams of learning objectives, assessment cycles, and branching decision trees in rich blue and green marker. Magnetic icons representing videos, quizzes, and discussions are arranged in a clear sequence. At the base, an aluminum tray holds color-coded markers and an eraser aligned in a straight line. Overhead LED panel lights cast bright, even illumination, creating soft reflections on the whiteboard’s glossy surface. Photographic realism at a straight-on, wide-angle view captures the entire board in sharp focus, projecting a professional, analytical atmosphere suited to showcasing teaching strategy and curriculum design.

Curriculum Design

Intentional, evidence-based learning design that aligns outcomes, assessments, and experiences across programs and courses.

Curriculum

A modern classroom environment centered on an empty, curved-front teacher’s podium made of light maple wood, housing a closed silver laptop, a small stack of rubric sheets, and a digital document camera folded neatly to the side. Behind the podium, a large ultra-wide display shows a paused slide from a clean, professional presentation template with icons for collaboration, reflection, and assessment. Soft, balanced overhead lighting ensures even illumination without glare on the screen. Photographic realism from an eye-level, wide-angle perspective captures rows of blurred, empty student desks in the background, creating a calm, anticipatory mood suitable for a ‘Teaching Philosophy’ or ‘Classroom Practice’ page.

Design research-informed curricula through program mapping, outcomes alignment, and backward design for K–12, higher ed, and workplace learning.

A clean, minimalist dashboard view on a large, slim computer monitor placed on a white sit-stand desk, showing a well-organized learning analytics interface: bar graphs of student progress, line charts of engagement over time, and neatly labeled filters for different cohorts. A compact wireless keyboard and mouse sit aligned in front, with a small potted plant adding a touch of green to the side. Cool, diffused daylight from a nearby window combines with subtle ambient office lighting, reducing glare and emphasizing screen clarity. Photographic realism from a straight-on, slightly elevated angle creates a precise, data-driven atmosphere well-suited for an ‘Assessment & Analytics’ or ‘Impact’ section.
