School volunteering and constituency

Her campaign describes volunteer work in Iron County schools that included fundraising, teacher-appreciation events, student leadership and curriculum review. It also identifies a professional background as an entrepreneur, commercial designer and business owner. Those campaign descriptions provide context for her community involvement. [1] [2]
Stated classroom priorities
Green’s campaign platform supports direct teacher instruction, foundational reading, writing and mathematics, and strong expectations for student work. She favors technology as a classroom supplement and calls for scrutiny of student-data collection and educators’ reporting burdens. She also emphasizes parents’ educational authority and stronger relationships between teachers and families. These are positions expressed by Green on her campaign site. [2]
Board assignment and family advocacy
Green serves on the state board’s Standards and Assessment Committee. [3]
Her official biography also describes participation in international forums concerning women and families, including the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women and the World Congress of Families.
