Professional Development from a Practicing Classroom Teacher
While I am a practicing classroom teacher, I lead a select amount of professional development as well.
Why Hire Me?
- I am a full-time teacher who also has a strong understanding of research. This combination of academic and practical knowledge means that I am attuned to the needs of teachers and able to help them to translate theory and research into their own practices.
- I am experienced, having led 100s of professional development sessions for schools, districts, ISDs, and organizations across the country and the world.
- I love teaching and working with teachers. No work is more essential than the work of educators, and I bring that effusive joy of being and helping teachers to everything I do.
- Having written for teaching audiences since 2010, I have a great sense for how to craft a workshop or keynote that gets teachers feeling excited, fulfilled, and like they have gained something important.
