Some of the Values that Shape My Work

An effective teacher promotes student learning that is cognitive, inter-personal and intra-personal in an environment that balances individual and community needs. Ideally, schools provide all students with the opportunities to develop themselves to become engaged citizens in a democratic society and achieve their personal goals. My work with teachers and leaders focuses on helping them develop their capacity to realize these goals through the educational program and  school organizational design.

Work with Families, Children, Schools, and Communities

I have worked with teachers at many points along the professional learning continuum from student to veteran teacher in a variety of school settings. I co-founded the Newark Educators’ Community Charter School to provide an exemplary education for urban children and on-going learning opportunities for educators and families.

Selected Professional Development Work

I started my professional development work at the Teacher’s College Reading and Wriiting Project, supporting the teaching of writing and social studies. Since then I’ve consulted with numerous schools--public, charter and independent in elementary and middle schools--to support curriculum development and the teaching of language arts, social studies and science.
