I find it truly rewarding to work with educators and leaders who are navigating the complexities of offering excellent education in these uncertain and often resource constrained times. I have more than 30 years of experience in these spaces as a leader, educator, educational developer and researcher. I have made some suggestions of topics and approaches below but please reach out if you are looking for something a bit different. I am also open to negotiating lower fees for projects focused on social and environmental justice.
