Consultation Services for Schools and Nonprofits
I am a teacher at heart and by training. I know that for learning to occur, the environment needs to be inclusive and welcoming, and the activities need to be engaging and relevant. I have facilitated professional learning for hundreds of schools and nonprofits, both online and in person. I prioritize high-quality information, meaningful opportunities to connect with and learn from peers, and learning experiences that respect expertise while introducing new skills. I value visible thinking exercises, discussion protocols, and other research-based facilitation practices that support the psychological safety learners need to grow. I write in detail about my work in my Substack newsletter "Learning on Purpose." A list of my current and past clients is available on the About page.
