Consulting and Professional Development

Learning and Assessment

Building on the ideas in ​Learning Together and The Novice Advantage, how do we improve teaching practice by building on the strengths we already have in our schools? How do we develop personal learning networks that allow us to improve the art and science of teaching? Workshops include:​

• Assessment
• Standards and learning targets
• Classroom management
• Student engagement​

Leadership, Policy, and Teaching Quality

How can we effectively learn from research and practice to inform policy?  Consultation and support for:

• Collective leadership development
• Strategic compensation
• Grant writing
• Policy development
• Teacher evaluation
• Student growth measures

Science as Inquiry

How do we tap into students' natural curiosity about the world around them? How do students begin to think and argue like scientists? Pre-8 students love science, and they will learn more deeply when we teach them how to ask the right questions. Workshops include:

• Inquiry-based unit and lesson design​
• Games and evidence-based engagement
• Questioning to deepen thinking

Below are some of the organizations with which I have had the opportunity to work.
