As a psychologist, educator, and President of GlobalRedesigns, an international educational consulting organization focused on innovation and transformation, my goal is to help young people gain the advanced skills, core knowledge, and character necessary to prepare for the workforce, contribute to global progress, and work toward a sustainable future.
My unique approach to school transformation integrates project based learning, 21st century skills, whole child development, organizational psychology, and teacher personal discovery. I provide proven methods and resources for designing high quality, challenging, authentic projects in any discipline or across disciplines, including science and engineering. I also help schools build their capacity to sustain a 21st century, inquiry-based culture based on Common Core State Standards, professional collaboration, teacher as designer, and use of on-line resources for reflection and growth. All of my work incorporates themes that I consider essential to education in the global age: communication; creativity; and compassion. I focus especially on these in my Whole Child, Whole Teacher workshops.
My core mission is to empower youth worldwide to redesign the future. To that end, I believe new forms of schooling must be designed around the principles of personal empowerment, social-emotional competency, integration of brain and heart, cross-cultural communication, innovation, global ideals, and digital learning. I offer my services worldwide to support the many innovations in education now underway or in the design stage.
Online coaching and consulting is an excellent option for schools seeking sustained professional development for PBL and school redesign, either in the U.S. or internationally. Please contact me to discuss an individualized, year long program for your team or school.
