​​ Quality discussions in the classroom are challenging to facilitate.  

​

Discussions do not come naturally. They require detailed planning and structuring beyond simple guidelines, community building through a focus on social and emotional learning, and sustained and engaged practice.

​

That's where I step in. I help teachers make discussions work in their classrooms.

​

In addition to consulting researchers and mentoring educators, I have served as the creator and director of award-winning discourse-based workshops that support the development of critical thinking through collaborative learning.

​

My approach supports teachers in prioritizing what's most important and in addressing the many challenging issues that come with introducing high-quality classroom discussions, giving teachers more agency.
