What I'm Building
Bridging Curriculum, Leadership, and Family Engagement
​
Over 25 years in education—across classrooms, buildings, and central office—I’ve come to believe that the real magic happens at the intersection of three core areas: how we teach, how we lead, and how we partner with families.
These aren’t silos. They’re deeply connected. And when they’re aligned, the impact on student outcomes is transformative.
​
Here’s a look at what I’m building now—projects that live at the heart of this belief.

Beyond the Box: Reimagining Curriculum Design
Focus: Teaching & Learning
Audience: Schools, Districts, Educators
​
This thought leadership series (and upcoming book) invites educators to move beyond compliance-driven curriculum models. Instead, we center inquiry, essential questions, and real-world learning—while remaining grounded in the science of reading and learning.
☑ Strategic curriculum design support
☑ Interdisciplinary unit development
☑ Assessment alignment and instructional coherence

Parenting Unboxed: Courses for Today’s Families
Focus: Family Engagement
Audience: Parents, Caregivers, Early Childhood Communities
​
Because parenting didn’t come with a syllabus, we built one.
​
These accessible, learning science-informed courses help parents understand how kids learn—so they can support their child’s development through everyday moments at home.
☑ Bite-sized videos and tools
☑ Research meets real life
☑ Built for birth through grade 3 (and beyond)

Leading People, Not Just Systems
Focus: Leadership & Human Capital
Audience: School and District Leaders
​
We explore the kind of leadership it takes to guide transformative change in today’s complex school systems—leadership that is intentional, grounded in trust, and focused on people. When leaders prioritize relationships, psychological safety, and curiosity, they don’t just improve morale—they embed it within their organization. This human-centered approach challenges educators to grow, take risks, and rise to the demands of today’s educational landscape without losing sight of what matters most: the people doing the work.

Why This Matters
When we build strong instructional systems, empower educators, and partner with families, we create the conditions every child needs to thrive. These projects are just the beginning.
Let’s build something together.
