I’m a writer and educational consultant from Portland, Oregon, working to harness the power of teaching, learning, and storytelling to improve lives and transform communities. Recent projects have taken me across the United States and around the globe to support educators who are shifting away from traditional instruction and engaging students in real-world problem solving. My most recent book is Redefining Student Success: Building a New Vision to Transform Leading, Teaching, and Learning, co-authored with Ken Kay. I’m PBLWorks National Faculty emeritus and a long-time contributor to Edutopia.
