I truly believe in the power of public education; I was a public school teacher for fourteen years in NH. I also believe public school can be a lot better. There are so many conversations not had, and we need to have them no matter the discomfort.
For the past four years, I have supported educators in NH and across the country with my friends at the Center for Collaborative Education focused on designing competency-based assessment systems using the Quality Performance Assessment framework. I’ve helped thousands of teachers in NH design performance assessments as part of the PACE Initiative and worked to help districts make the shift to competency-based education practices. I helped facilitate the Vermont Professional Learning Network from 2016-2019 which focused on Proficiency Based Learning Practices, Continuous Improvement and Work Based Learning. I was the technical advisor for the planning phase of the Manchester West Redesign project and am currently supporting Franklin High School as they create their Portrait of the Graduate.
I have written self-paced courses for educators, contributed as a thought partner for competency-based education publications and have presented at local and national conferences. In all of this work, I’ve gone on quite the learning journey myself discovering the ways unjust systems affect students and the communities in which they live.
