WORKSHOPREADY®
I created WORKSHOPREADY to train educators who dream of sharing their expertise but need a boost to get started.  I guide you through every step to becoming a memorable presenter: from choosing your topic to creating a compelling workshop.  Then, I pay you to travel the nation sharing your expertise.
I create instructional change one classroom, one hallway, one school @ a time.
Perry Innovation Center Upper School Integrated Learning
I specialize in designing and developing learning models that integrate emerging technologies with responsive teaching methodologies where students learn in relevant, self-paced and purposeful ways. In Perry Upper School (6th + 7th Grade), I designed the school's integrated curriculum pedagogical approach and lessons that support a flexible, hands-on, and purpose-based learning environment.

​RE-IMAGINING SCHOOL
​WITH REAL WORLD PURPOSE-BASED-LEARNING
Inspiring and coaching teachers to FALL IN LOVE WITH TEACHING again is my calling.  My unique strategies help remind them the purpose of school and have powerful lasting results for the learners as well as the teacher.
 How did these students solve these real world problems? WATCH!

Professional Development for educators

Technology Integration Assessment

I design responsive professional development for K-12 administrators. ​The purpose of the Tech Talk Walks is for decision-makers to (1) understand the range of instructional technology in the district, (2) to assess the technology implementation goals, and identifying future instructional areas.
Restorative Practice

It is one thing for educators to practice a restorative culture with the students but quiet another for administrator to practice among themselves, with their staff to begin building not just a new student disciplinary trend but a cultural practice that changes their school communities profoundly.
