Whether you’re just exploring possibilities or ready to move forward, tell me about your school’s STEM program. I’ll tell you how I can help.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
We'll talk about your school, your teachers, and what you're trying to build. I'll ask questions, you'll ask questions, and if it seems like a good fit we'll talk next steps. No obligation.
-
Most PD hands you a prepackaged lesson or a ready-made formula and sends you on your way. That's useful in the short term, but it doesn't change how you see the work. My goal is that you leave with a framework you can keep building from. The work is grounded in your students' identities and communities, not just in content standards.
-
Item descriptionThere isn't really a typical day. Every engagement is built around your school's specific context, teachers, and goals. Workshops are project-based and learner-centered by design. I try to model the same kind of instruction I'm asking teachers to build. You're not sitting and listening, you're doing the work.
-
Yes, I travel throughout the United States for in-person workshops and coaching. Virtual options are also available.
-
No. The principles behind culturally relevant STEM instruction apply in any classroom. I'll work with you using whatever resources you have available. The starting point isn't equipment, it's how you think about your students and design learning experiences for them.
-
I book engagements 6-8 weeks in advance, with some flexibility for urgent needs.
-
Yes. Coaching and follow-up support can be built into any engagement, or added on afterward. Most schools find that the work goes deeper when there's sustained support beyond the initial workshop.
-
Yes! Culturally relevant pedagogy and project-based learning apply across subjects. If your school is working on engagement, equity, or student-centered instruction more broadly, there's likely a fit.
-
That's a reasonable concern, and honestly one I take seriously. The work we do together is practical, grounded in real classroom experience, and designed to respect teachers' time and expertise.
