Changing the World One Mind at a Time
The world is changing and education must keep up. As the world becomes more connected and the skills of the classroom shift, we must grow with them. It's time to consider our current practices and make the necessary revisions for the benefit of our students and colleagues. What risks are you prepared to take? How can I help?

Job-Embedded Consulting and Coaching
Although I enjoy inspiring audiences, I'm committed to helping schools grow their learner successes (students and adults). The hardest part of making an initiative successful is the implementation, and that's where I thrive. Let's partner to plan, implement, and grow your initiatives. Some areas worth considering are:
-
Clarity work (learning targets, success criteria, and co-construction)
-
Grading policy reform (including parent outreach and stakeholder meetings like board meetings)
-
Alternative assessment development (PBL, creative assessment, etc)
-
Curriculum writing, revision, and development for learner-led paradigms
-
Student focus groups
-
Learning walks
-
Goal setting, progress tracking, reflection, and self-assessment
-
Development of competency-based and standards-based learning progressions
-
Formative assessment
-
PLC support - developing staff and student collective efficacy
-
Data collection and usage
-
Higher Education Learning

And more to meet your class, school, or district's unique needs and context...
