Among those responsibilities, she worked as teacher-in-charge, Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment (BTSA) mentor, and summer school co-principal.
For the last three years, Dr. Medler has worked for the Beginning Teacher Programs at the Los Angeles County Office of Education. She worked with new and veteran teachers, as well as a variety of leadership teams, towards meeting teacher induction standards and California Standards for the Teaching Profession. Two years ago, she earned her Educational Doctorate in K-12 Leadership from the University of Southern California.
