Designing Teacher Education programs for ethical, just, and healing futures
I love working with doctoral students and early career academics to do a whole host of things and I’m open to your ideas as well.
I am exceptionally good at helping you create writing practices that are meaningful for you and your readers, and developing your craft in a way that is deeply connected to the theories and philosophies you are using.
If you are an academic and want to develop these courses or improve your programs at your institution, let me know and I can help. I can also come to your institution as a guest instructor or visiting professor (depending on the time of year) and would be happy to work with you, your colleagues, and your students.
What do educators say?
“It was magic.”
“The best professional learning in my career.”
“I’ve never had professional learning where I felt completely included.”
“I’ve never felt so challenged and also so comforted.”
You’ve got this, and I can help. I’ve been working with teachers for more than 20 years about how to teach our earliest readers to read and how to invite reluctant teenage writers back into the fold of school. Teachers are our most important intellectuals in a society given your influence in shaping children and youth, and I can help you expand your understanding about literacy learning, literacies in the content areas, and ways children and youth get “stuck” in patterns of schooling. I can help you work to be more in-the-moment, and prepared for planned and improvisational teaching and facilitating even the most challenging topics that children and youth bring up in schools every single day.
