PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Workshops, courses, and PD.
I work with schools and educators across the state of Ohio. My education and experiences are unique to this moment in K-12 leadership, and I can help you and your staff move forward with ethical, effective AI integration.
My core concepts:
Protect fundamental skills, keep humans in the loop, teacher literacy before student literacy, small steps can make a big difference, it's not about "saving time" - it's about preparing our students for what's ahead.
Using AI to:
Enhance great teaching -
Enhance critical thinking and student learning;
Not replace either.
Every district is in a unique place in their journey. Reach out and let's find the next step that's best for your staff and students.
Feedback from district leaders:
"Your presentation was fantastic today! Thank you for working with our staff and finding ways to connect with so many people in the audience and giving them real takeaways that will help them help students."
"Thank you SO much for the information this morning! So eye-opening and has my brain spinning as to how we can best educate ourselves, our staff, our parents, and our students."
"I just wanted to share that you definitely inspired several of our teachers yesterday because a few called me in their classrooms today to show me what they are trying with their students from your presentation. Thank you again for coming to our school and sharing your knowledge with our teachers and inspiring many to explore what AI has to offer when it comes to educating our students and meeting their individual needs!"
"I wanted to thank you again for sharing all of the info at the recent training. (Our team) shared a presentation of what we learned with parents at our annual parent night last evening. The information was well received and parents were grateful."
