PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Workshops, courses, and PD.

I work with schools and educators across the state of Ohio. My education, application and experiences are unique to this moment in K-12 leadership, and I can help you and your staff move forward with 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.
