I have presented at various state and national conferences on assessment & grading practices, language arts instruction, social emotional learning, and equitable teaching practices. I have contributed chapters to innovative books on educational practice, including The New Teacher’s Guide to Overcoming Common Challenges and 100 No-Nonsense Things that ALL Teachers Should STOP Doing.
