What I can offer you
I love collaborating and I love having conversations around learning that is fun and developing strong teaching practices that foster genuine learning; developing skills, knowledge, and deeper understanding in children and adults alike.
Teacher professional development
Examples of workshops I offer:
Pedagogy for Inquiry - classroom practices that support inquiry driven and concept based learning
Teaching and Learning Concepts - Using concept based curriculum and instruction to plan better units
My Aha Moments - Conceptual learning in the IB. Things the IB didn’t tell me and I had to learn the hard way
Playful Learning - Using the power of play to level-up our learning for deeper understanding - not just for young kids!
Planning teaching and learning
I work with teachers to develop learning that is concept based and inquiry driven through a playful learning approach. This can be subject specific or interdisciplinary and include:
Planning together
Facilitating student learning experiences together
reflecting on our teaching and the learning happening in our classrooms
Evaluating and evidencing the learning together
Strategic planning support and program implementation
I work with leaders to help develop strategic plans, plan events, and support program implementation.
My particular expertise and experience lies within the IB and specifically the MYP & DP. However, I have worked with educators across all age groups and within various frameworks.
Personal professional coaching conversations
I can offer personal professional coaching conversations for teachers and school leaders to help you answer questions you have and move forward in a positive and supportive environment.
