Work With Me

I partner with districts, schools, and education organizations to plan and lead EdTech work that improves outcomes for teachers and students. After 15+ years as a teacher, technology integrationist, regional consultant, and district leader, I bring both the big-picture strategy and the classroom reality. Every keynote, workshop, and coaching partnership is shaped around your staff, your goals, and the time you have.

Get in Touch

Happiness by Design

Half-day workshop
Most requested

Happiness can be intentionally supported through small shifts in classroom design. Participants experience research-backed strategies around strengths, gratitude, identity, choice, habits, and social connection, and leave with practical activities and digital resources they can adapt immediately to support student well-being, engagement, and agency.

"Jeff Glade's session on Happiness really stuck with me. It was grounded in research but also filled with practical ideas I can use right away for myself and students." — Session attendee

Comprehension Amplified

Workshop

Comprehension isn't only about print. Teachers learn how to select podcasts, train students to be close listeners, co-analyze episodes together, and connect podcasts to their existing curriculum. Because listening removes the decoding barrier, every student can access rich, challenging texts regardless of reading level. Presented at ISTE, ITEC, and Fika & Learn in Stockholm, Sweden.

"This session was phenomenal!! I can't wait to bring these ideas back to my team and implement them right away!" — Session attendee

AI & Digital Learning Coherence

Leadership coaching and strategy

AI decisions shouldn't be made one tool or one classroom at a time. I partner with leadership teams to build a systemic approach to AI and digital learning, so your vision, policies, tools, and professional learning work together. I've led district technology audits and multi-year roadmaps, convened a district's first AI task force, and helped leaders build AI guidance, governance, and a coherent set of core tools.

"Jeff has been one of the leading voices in our state helping educators and school systems navigate the emergence of generative artificial intelligence." — Education leader

Other ways to work together

Keynotes for conferences, convocations, and PD days.
Workshops and seminars from 60 minutes to a full day.
Technology audits and strategic planning that turn classroom observations and stakeholder input into a clear roadmap.
Institutes and multi-session courses, including graduate-level coursework.

Follow-up coaching that helps new practices stick.

What leaders say

"Jeff has an extraordinary ability to take complex ideas and concepts and operationalize them into clear, functional systems that teams can implement effectively."

Regional education leader

"He has a rare ability to make complex ideas approachable and relevant for teachers. Educators trust Jeff because he listens carefully, understands classroom realities, and focuses on solutions that genuinely improve the learning experience for students."

Digital learning leader
