Education Consulting and Professional Development

I help academic institutions and instructors improve test scores, close achievement gaps, and increase student engagement by:

Creating professional development training on the science of how students learn and perform best
Advising on how to integrate technology into the classroom
Re-designing math and science curricula for the 21st century

Learning is the Ultimate Meta-Skill and Can Be Traded for Anything Else: Really think about it. If you're good at learning, you can use that skill to get good at anything you like. The potential for your improvement is infinite.
Any Student, Anywhere, Can Learn Anything: Maybe not in the same way or on the same day, but with enough effort and the right methods, anything.
Changing Your Mind is a Sign of Intelligence: Sometimes you don't need to learn anything new, you just have to unlearn what you think you know.
Commit to Finding Best Practices: Always be looking for new and better models of instruction and support, and find ways to scale those strategies.
Single Tasking is a Superpower: Students who focus on one thing at a time learn more, get less distracted, produce higher quality work, and feel less stressed. This also applies to teachers, engineers, lawyers, businessmen, etc.
Know Your Weaknesses: Every strategy has flaws, but don’t simply accept those. Rather, understand your goals, find the process that works best, and do your best to mitigate the issues.
Take Notes Everyday: Learning doesn't just happen in school. You should always be prepared to capture an observation, question, or bit of knowledge.
