One of my goals is to share the information that I am learning with parents, organizations, children and educators. That’s why I started this blog, to reach the virtual audience, but I also speak to face-to-face (and screen to screen over Skype!) audiences about the research, advice and guidelines, and what I have learned. If you are interested in having me come and speak at your school or another venue, please feel free to contact me. I have a power point presentation and can customize to some degree for your audience.
Upcoming talks:
- We are currently setting our Fall and Spring speaking schedules and will post as they are scheduled. I will be setting talks for Campbell Hall, Parents Education League, Team Tutors, and several other schools. If you are interested in having me come speak, email me.
