Workshops

Currently, I primarily consult with Christian schools to provide professional development for systemic change to the instructional program.  Popular topics include:

• Brain research and cognitive science 

• Understanding by Design® including:

  1. Development of big ideas, enduring understandings, and essential questions.

  2. Broadening of assessment practices and the related skills (performance tasks, rubrics, portfolios, self-assessment).

  3. Instructional practices including differentiation and integrating technology.

• Student Performance Reporting Systems (grading and transcripts, student-led conferences, cornerstone assessments, exhibitions, student self-assessment, formative feedback)

• Systemic reform using the Schooling by Design 

• Coaching teachers in unit development and curriculum maps

• Coaching administrators and instructional leaders in systemic change
