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 and core knowledge necessary to prepare for the workforce, contribute to global progress, and work toward a sustainable future.
My unique, integrated approach to project based learning provides proven methods for designing and implementing high quality, challenging, authentic projects in any discipline or across disciplines, including science and engineering. I also help school districts build their capacity for developing 21st century, project-friendly, high performance classrooms based on a personalized learning environment, mentor relationships, and innovative curriculum that supports project based learning and 21st century skills instruction. All of my work incorporates four themes that I consider essential to education in the global age: communication; collaboration; creativity; and compassion. I focus especially on these in my Heart in School workshops.
The greater mission, in my view, 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, cross-cultural communication, innovation, global ideals, and blended learning that combines current knowledge with authentic work in the community. I offer my services worldwide to support the many innovations in education now underway or in the design stage.
Online coaching and consulting is available using the latest meeting and video technologies. I offer low-cost, individually-designed professional development programs in project based learning or school redesign, either in the U.S. or internationally. Please contact me for pricing for your team or school.
