How can I help?
Past Work includes:
Professional Development
As I teacher educator, I’ve worked with districts to design ongoing teacher development on DEI issues. Some possibilities:
new teacher induction rooted in equity
on-going teacher development circles/book groups, virtual or in person
LGBTQ+ supportive policies and programs
local context analysis: who are our students? what are their histories?
.
Consulting:
As researcher, I have conducted qualitative studies in the field on DEI topics, held group and one-on-one interviews, reviewed curriculum, mentored teachers and evaluated programs for multilingual learners and newcomers. I’ve helped to write a multi-leveled framework for evaluating the success of educational programs for urban youth in extended learning time settings.
Writing
As a writer, I have produced a wide assortment of published works (articles, popular media, blogs, a book). I have also run writing retreats and workshops for junior faculty and have been an invited manuscript reviewer for many educational journals.
Curriculum Design
As a former teacher and content specialist, I teach courses in the Science of Reading (Masters level and post-grad) and Elementary Social Studies (undergrad) for upwards of 20 years. I’ve worked with a school to rewrite their K-8 social studies curriculum to be more DEI- and local-context focused.
Speaking/Keynoting
As a public speaker, I have presented at dozens of conferences, both nationally (AERA, NEERO, AACTE, NERA, etc) and internationally (London, Venice, Florence, Lisbon) on DEI topics.
