What I do

The right professional learning shows up everywhere. In the way your teachers approach their work. In the way your students engage with theirs. In the way your data reads at the end of the year. And in the way your board looks at you when you present it.

Engagements range from single-day workshops to year-long partnerships. Every scope begins with a conversation.

01

Professional Learning for Districts

Your teachers came into this work to make a difference. When you give them professional learning that respects what they already know and gives them what they can actually use, you become the leader they trust to keep investing in them well.

Engagements range from single-session workshops to year-long partnerships with embedded follow-through. In-person, virtual, or hybrid.

  • Science of Reading Training
  • Secondary Literacy
  • SIOP for Multilingual Learners
  • Building Thinking Classrooms
  • Brain-Based Learning
  • AI for Educators
  • Curriculum Design and Revision
  • Student Discourse & Engagement

02

Instructional and Leadership Coaching

The strongest educators in your district are the ones who never stop learning about their own practice. When you give them a coach who can meet them at their expertise, you become the leader who invests in the growth of the people already investing in your students.

Coaching engagements are typically multi-session, one-on-one or small-group, and designed around the specific growth goals of the person or team.

  • Instructional Coaching for Teachers
  • Coaching for Instructional Coaches
  • Coaching for School and District Administrators
  • Instructional Leadership Development

03

Curriculum and Systems Consulting

The strength of your instruction is only as good as the systems underneath it. When you invest in getting the curriculum, the teams, and the data practices right, you become the leader whose initiatives still matter three years from now.

Engagements are typically project-scoped: a curriculum revision cycle, an MTSS audit, a PLC restructure. Some become ongoing partnerships.

  • MTSS Design, Evaluation, and Audits
  • PLC and Data Team Structures
  • Curriculum Revision and Alignment
  • Restorative Practices Training

04

Keynotes and Speaking

The keynotes people remember are the ones that leave them thinking differently on the drive home. When you book a speaker who can shift how your audience shows up on Monday, you become the leader whose PD day people talk about for months.

Keynotes and workshop-style talks for leadership retreats, district PD days, convocations, and education conferences. Grounded in brain science, built to leave your audience with something they can use, not just something they enjoyed.

  • Brain Science and the Design of Professional Learning
  • Why Stressed Brains Can't Learn
  • Accelerating Reading for Older Students
  • AI in the Classroom
  • Restorative Practices as Culture Strategy
  • Leading for Change That Actually Sticks

ready for monday

I have stations planned to try this week! I'm adding a choice board option too.

– HP, high school science teacher

I model best practices while you learn about them. Learning about inquiry? You'll experience strategies in inquiry as you learn about it. Learning about differentiation? You'll have a differentiated learning experience. People who experience the practices are better able to implement them. I also build in time for collaborative planning to get you started.

ELA scores improved over 60%

We saw an enormous improvement over three years.

– CT, Central Office Supervisor

Creating systems and structures like curriculum revision, professional learning series, and learning walks combined with support for improved instructional and PLC/data practices can have lasting effects.

sessions that land

I've been coming to this conference for over 20 years, and this is the best breakout I've ever experienced.

– LM, Breakout Session Participant

The best keynotes and workshop sessions aren't the ones with the flashiest slides. They're the ones designed for how the room actually learns. Every session I deliver, whether it's a 45-minute breakout, a 90-minute keynote, or a full-day workshop, is built around the same brain-science principles I use in a district PD engagement.

lets do this.

The best engagements start with a real conversation about what you're facing, not a pitch about what I do.
