Cassandra Lock, M. Ed.

I facilitate learning across ages, mediums, and readiness levels. I have over 8 years of experience across four states in classroom administration, research, building relationships, professional development, and curriculum planning. I can design, implement, and assess educational and training content based on the goals of an organization and its alignment with the 4 levels of training and evaluation. I am ready to take my background and help companies build success and recurring revenue through the learning and development of their members.
