Teaching & Education

I want young people to know that the world can be different. And that they can make it that way.

I write curriculum and support teachers and schools in helping to make that happen.

Writing curriculum

I write curriculum modules ranging from two to thirty pages in length detailing fun, hands on project based learning units across the arts, humanities, and social studies.

Because of my values, everything I write is culturally sustaining!

Supporting schools

I advise leadership on culturally relevant curriculum planning, arts education, service learning, and grantseeking strategies to support that work.

Professional development for teachers

I run the Education Amplifier network, a professional learning community for 20K+ teachers nationwide. We produce conferences like these, and offer a membership program, for year round support. Get involved!
