let’s make it stick – together
I love working with educators—whether it’s a small team looking for hands-on strategies or a packed conference hall ready for big ideas. My goal is always the same: to make professional learning engaging, practical, and immediately useful.
I specialize in literacy across all subjects, using the science of learning and Building Thinking Classroom (BTC) practices to help teachers create classrooms where students don’t just comply—they engage, think, and grow. My presentations are always customized to fit your team’s needs, whether you’re looking for a high-energy keynote, an interactive workshop, or ongoing coaching to bring ideas into practice.
Here are just a few topics I love to dive into:
📖 Making Reading Irresistible – Simple shifts to turn reluctant readers into engaged learners
✍️ The Power of Storytelling in Math & Science – How narratives deepen understanding across disciplines
🧠 Feedback That Fuels Learning – Moving beyond grading to feedback students actually use
🎲 Gamifying Literacy – Play-based strategies that boost comprehension and engagement
📊 Assessment That Drives Growth – Practical ways to make assessment meaningful without adding to your workload
🔎 Building Thinking Classrooms for Literacy – How BTC practices can elevate reading, writing, and discussion in any subject
