WORKSHOPS

Over the past few years I’ve been lucky enough to work with some amazing people, schools, and conferences. I’ve spoken at the White House, given a TEDx Talk, and delivered keynotes in Australia, the Netherlands, and China.

While I enjoy conducting half-day and full-day workshops, I love building long-term relationships with schools and districts. I offer a discounted rate when I combine multi-day workshops with coaching.

WORKSHOP TOPICS

Project-Based Learning

As a teacher, I used design thinking for over a decade and spoke at the White House about one of our multidisciplinary projects. As a professor, I work with pre-service and currrent classroom teachers to help them launch PBL in multiple subject areas.

Empowering Students with Voice and Choice

My journey as a teacher has been from a focus on engagement to a focus on empowerment. I love to share the stories, mistakes, and insights I’ve had along this journey. I also share practical tools and strategies you can use tomorrow to shift toward student empowerment.

Design Thinking

I co-wrote the book Launch with A.J. Juliani. We are the founders of the LAUNCH Cycle, a student-friendly K-12 design thinking framework. As a maker and an entreprenreur, I am passionate about human-centered creativity and design thinking.
