I specialize in designing customized professional learning experiences for K-16 educators, focusing on multiliteracy instruction, curriculum and assessment design, and standards-based grading. With over two decades of experience across 100+ international systems, I bring a collaborative, research-based approach to every partnership. Your story matters. Let's talk about transforming teaching and learning in that context.
I became a teacher because I had good teachers, and children are some of the best.
I began my career in the classroom and spent some time as a regional literacy specialist before becoming an independent professional learning facilitator in 2008. Over the last two decades, I’ve lead complex system-wide curriculum and assessment design initiatives, the shift to standards based grading and reporting, sustained lesson studies, and the practice of pedagogical documentation in schools and universities within and beyond the United States. As a dedicated action researcher whose interests lie at the intersection of purposeful play, collaborative inquiry, multimodal expression, and culturally sustaining practices, each of my books is a chapter in a great learning story that continues to compel me.
Thanks for visiting. I’m glad that you’re here, and I hope that you’ll come find me on Bluesky, LinkedIn, or Instagram.
I'd love to hear your story.
