Speaking

Your educators won't leave with notes. They'll leave with working tools.

I'll show your educators how to build AI-powered tools that solve your organization's biggest problems—and you'll leave with working prototypes.

01 — Signature Sessions

01

AI App Design for Educators

Your team leaves with a working prototype they built themselves.

A hands-on keynote-plus-build session. Educators name a real problem in their building, then design and ship an AI-powered tool that solves it — no traditional programming.

02

Build AI Tools Without Traditional Programming

Faculty stop waiting on vendors and start making.

A practical on-ramp to modern AI-assisted development for people who have never written code, framed entirely in the language of teaching and learning.

03

SEL That Survives February

Leaders leave with an implementation plan, not a kickoff.

Drawn from my IGI Global chapters on inclusivity, respect, and social-emotional learning — why programs stall mid-year and what leaders do differently when they don't.

04

Reading Comprehension That Actually Moves

Teachers leave with strategy instruction they can run Monday.

Twenty years of concept-oriented reading instruction research translated into classroom practice — motivation support and strategy instruction working together.

02 — What the Room Walks Away With

A tool that exists

Not a framework to try later — a functioning prototype built during the session, aimed at a problem your team named that morning.

Language leaders can use

How to talk about AI adoption with boards, families, and faculty without jargon or hype.

A guardrail for AI in SEL

Where AI carries the load, and where it must never replace an adult who knows the child.

03 — Why This Session Lands

I don't teach AI theory. I ship education products.

CivicPass Prep, Word Adventures USA, The Storybook Coach, and Journal Spark are live platforms I designed and built — while running early childhood programs at State College of Florida and publishing on comprehension, leadership, and SEL.

Let's get your team building.
