Designing solutions that are…
-
The world is not yet free from systems of oppression like racism, sexism, and ablism — and neither are the classrooms and workplaces where these inequities can be unintentionally exacerbated. I help my clients learn how to critically and proactively consider issues of student identities, backgrounds, and experiences in all of their teaching.
-
The classroom is the ultimate laboratory and our students are fellow scientists helping us experiment with tools/strategies and providing feedback along the way. With so much shiny new technology to choose from, I help my clients pick tools that actually support — rather than distract from — their specific pedagogical goals.
-
Interacting with students in an online or large face-to-face classroom can feel daunting — especially when you don’t know if they are getting what they need from you. I help my clients develop the right skills and mindset to make their courses fulfilling for both themselves and their students.
-
The move to remote, online, or hybrid teaching (and back to in person again!) — especially during a global pandemic — can be mentally and physically exhausting for students and instructors alike. I help my clients develop practices that place wellbeing and empowerment at the heart of every decision they make about their classroom.
