K-16 Professional Development & Education Consulting

Are you tired of teaching from a textbook? Using endless worksheets in your class? 

I believe our educational system isn't broken, but it does need some renovation. Students need to learn skills, specifically creativity and critical thinking, that prepare them for life in the fourth industrial revolution. 

I can show you how to make learning FUN and worthwhile! After two decades in the classroom, I train current and pre-service teachers how to foster creativity in their classrooms.

My Professional Development training focuses on:​​
  • Preparing Students for life in the 21st Century
  • Developing Technological and Engineering Literacy
  • Hands-on, Minds-on lesson/unit planning
  • Project-Based and Design-Based Learning
  • Multidisciplinary and Integrative STEM instruction
  • Competency-based grading
  • Active Learning
  • Fostering higher-order thinking
  • Creativity
  • Critical Thinking
  • Collaboration
  • Soft Skills
  • Workplace Readiness Skills
  • Solving real-world problems
  • ​21st Century Skills
