Sharing Strategies to Stretch Student Thinking
I share practical strategies to stretch student thinking.
I love working with teachers to share concrete ways to elevate instruction! I have worked with teachers across the country in 20 states about differentiation and strategies that stretch student thinking.
With over 24 years of experience in gifted education as a teacher, district leader, and researcher, I am passionate about equipping teachers to support and challenge advanced learners. I also work with schools to show how teachers can apply these strategies with scaffolds to support all learners.
I have authored/co-authored 13 books in the field (including ELA curriculum), written articles for ASCD, AMLE (American Middle Level Educators), and several research publications. Beyond working with teachers in professional development contexts, I consult with school districts and organizations regarding honors programming, access to cognitive rigor, coaching and collaboration, and differentiated instruction.
